Abstract: |
A fluxgate magnetometer survey was carried out over a 1ha sample of a proposed development site prior to the planned construction of a fishing lake, holiday cabins and associated utilities. Geomagnetic anomalies in the study area were found to be exceptionally weak, indicating a low magnitude and contrast in magnetic susceptibility between the topsoil and subsoil layers. A low density of surface ferrous litter had aided the detection of subtle geomagnetic anomalies in the area investigated. A weak and diffuse geophysical anomaly of meandering form had possibly been detected in the eastern half of the sample area. This feature may provide evidence for a silted palaeochannel of periglacial origin. The survey located an area of circa 20 x 15m containing a random pattern of positive, negative and dipolar style magnetic anomalies which appeared to extend west beyond the study area. It was possible that these anomalies mark an area of disturbed ground or burning whose exact character could be determined via a watching brief during excavation of the fishing pond. [Au(abr)] |
