Introduction
This collection comprises plans, images and data from a detailed magnetometry survey carried out ahead of a new battery storage facility at Culham using a hand-pushed, cart-based system of 5 sensors spaced at 0.5m centres collecting data at 20Hz.
A series of parallel linear anomalies extend through the site, although it is not possible to determine if they relate to cut, ditch-like features or if they are associated with agricultural activity or drainage. Some appear to have been truncated by later activity, which could indicate that they are earlier features. Other weak anomalies have also been located, but they lack a coherent morphology and cannot be confidently interpreted. The south eastern part of the site contains magnetic debris associated with modern spoil dumping, and similar responses relate to an unmetalled track in the western part of the site.
