Abstract: |
The gradiometer survey was completed using Bartington Grad601-2 dual magnetic gradiometer systems with data loggers. Readings were recorded at a resolution of 0.01nT and data collected with a traverse interval of 1m and a sample interval of 0.25m. The processing was undertaken using TerraSurveyor software and consisted of minimal standard processing procedures. Illustrations were created using AutoCAD software. Interpretation of identified anomalies was achieved through analysis of anomaly patterning and increases in magnetic response and was aided by examining the available supporting information. The survey produced good data and confirmed the presence of a trackway identified on historic mapping, labelled ‘Markam Line’. An area of possible archaeology was identified. This corresponds to historic map data indicating a small building adjacent to a relict field boundary. The possible remains of an enclosure to the northwest which is likely medieval in date have also been identified. Another anomaly was also identified to the southwest which could also indicate the presence of a pit. Several undetermined linear anomalies were also detected throughout the field. These have some potential to evidence unrecorded trackways or enclosures. Evidence of ridge and furrow cultivation is noted in the south-eastern area of the survey data with further evidence of more recent agricultural activity along the eastern boundary. A complex field drain system is also noted as are previous field boundaries which correspond with historic map data. |
