Abstract: |
The area under investigation lay within the grounds of Mangrove House. During the late 19th century Roman burials were unearthed in the grounds of the house, although the precise location was uncertain. Survey was undertaken with the aim of trying to locate any surviving Roman burials, as well as identifying any other anomalies of archaeological potential within the evaluation area. This survey formed part of a wider archaeological evaluation being undertaken by John Samuels Archaeological Consultants in advance of proposed development. The gradiometer survey identified two pit type anomalies and several weak linear and curvilinear responses that could have been of archaeological interest. However, the weak nature of the responses and the prevalence of modern ferrous debris and landscaping made any interpretation tentative. The data contained no direct evidence for the presence of burials, although any anomalies from such features could easily have been masked by the numerous modern ferrous anomalies. [Au(abr)] |
