Abstract: |
Geomagnetic surveys were carried out on four sample areas to the north of Nosterfield Quarry with electrical resistance survey also being conducted over one of those areas. The resistance survey was particularly effective and recorded evidence for a multi-phase system of ditched enclosures and associated features, probably dating to the late prehistoric/Romano-British periods. Geomagnetic surveys over the same area failed to detect these features implying the gradiometer surveys were not all suited to detecting features of this type in the soil conditions found in here. This was somewhat unexpected as recent geomagnetic surveys along the A1 just 6km to the east and north-east proved effective at Healam Bridge. Surveys in others areas at Oaklands detected evidence for later field systems, including ridge and furrow remains and old field boundaries. [Au(abr)] |
