Abstract: |
Allen Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Globe Consultants to undertake a geophysical survey using magnetometry on land at Good’s Farm, Reepham, Lincolnshire, prior to determination of planning consent for a residential development.
A preceding desk-based assessment identified some archaeological potential, with evidence for prehistoric activity in the vicinity of the site, as well as possible medieval and later settlement activity in the southern part of the site. The survey has identified significant amounts of magnetic noise, which may potentially mask earlier activity. However, few other features of potential interest were identified, with the results largely characterised by drainage and cultivation trends.
A small number of linear features in the western part of the site may be of anthropogenic origin, but a geological response is also possible.
Overall, the evidence suggests a low archaeological potential for the proposed development area. |
