Abstract: |
The fluxgate gradiometer survey identified significant magnetic variation across the site. Some of the anomalies could be resolved as features produced by agricultural activities, geological processes, and the provision of mains service, but others appeared to indicate the presence of sub-surface archaeological features. A number of linear anomalies possibly represented traces of boundary and/or trackway features, while others appeared to be the remains of ridge and furrow field systems. Some of the larger discrete anomalies may have been the product of quarrying. Individual and groups of discrete anomalies may have represented areas of in-situ burning. A well defined group of anomalies situated on the line of the proposed site access, in Thistleton parish, may be resolved as a sub-rectangular enclosure, with morphological characteristics suggesting it was part of a Late Iron Age or Romano-British settlement. Scatters of discrete anomalies across the site attested to the possible presence of ferrous and brick/tile debris. [Au] |
