Abstract: |
This report presents the results from a geophysical survey undertaken by Wessex Archaeology on land at Lydiard Tregoze, Swindon, Wiltshire centred on National Grid Reference 410355, 185010. The survey was commissioned by Taylor Wimpey (UK) Ltd ahead of proposed development of the land. The survey area comprises of almost 6ha over one arable field, with just under 5ha surveyed. The survey was undertaken between 6th May 2015 and 9th May 2015. Field conditions at the time of survey were good with grass under foot and favourable weather. The detailed gradiometer survey has been successful in revealing anomalies of possible archaeological origin alongside agricultural trends, ploughing trends, areas of increased magnetic response and unidentified ferrous responses. Of particular note are strongly magnetic anomalies in the eastern part of the survey area which are of possible archaeological interest. Linear trends on a different alignment to the ploughing trends would suggest earlier farming practices of unknown provenance. The presence of alluvium on site may mask features from being detected by the gradiometer and result in archaeological features being under represented in the data. |
