Title Geophysical Survey of land to the East of Bakers Lane, Doveridge, Derbyshire
Description This report presents the results of a geophysical survey undertaken on land to the east of Bakers Lane, Doveridge in Derbyshire. An archaeological desk-based assessment (DBA) compiled in 2015 concluded that there is medium to low potential for archaeological remains to survive within the proposed development area. A geophysical survey was carried out between 21st and 24th April 2015 using a Bartington 601 dual sensor fluxgate gradiometer. Approximately 4.5ha. was included in the survey. The results have not revealed any definite evidence of any previously unknown significant sub-surface archaeological remains within the survey area although a small number of anomalies with some potential to be of archaeological origin have been identified. The geophysical survey also confirmed that large parts of the survey area appear to be devoid of detectable archaeological features other than surviving remains that are agricultural in origin and which possess historical value of negligible significance. Vague traces of the upstanding medieval ridge and furrow appear in the data and these suggest that in the northern field the ridge and furrow follows two alignments and is therefore, possibly, multi- phase. As the anomalies associated with the medieval ridge and furrow are vague in the dataset or have been removed at the data processing stage the results suggest that it is unlikely that any archaeological features have been masked by the ridge and furrow.
