Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry survey was carried out over an area of c.17ha and covered part of both Areas 2 and 4 of the proposed Amesbury Business Park. The aim was to investigate the area around the six known ring ditches. It was hoped that the technique would locate the position of the known ring ditches as well as other ploughed out examples, should they exist, and generally assess the archaeological potential of the survey areas. Survey successfully identified the ring ditches noted from the cropmark evidence and also found another definite example as well as a number of possible ring ditches not previously recorded. While the majority of the linear or curvilinear ditch cropmarks were located, some could not be verified. Two ditches were added to those known to cross the survey areas. Although a number of pit-type anomalies were found within the data, their interpretation was tentative as they may have been a result of natural or recent activities. [Au(abr)] |
