Abstract: |
A magnetometry geophysical survey was conducted in advance of possible landscape modification under the Durham Biodiversity Action Plan. The site was close to a Site of Special Scientific Interest in the Cleadon Hills, a natural outcrop of magnesium limestone. Most of the features were those to be expected in most contemporary arable fields, including field boundaries and drains. Former ditches and/or palaeochannels were also identified as well as rows or groups of 'pits', some of which could have been archaeological in nature, possibly prehistoric. Stone features and possible enclosures were also identified close to the quarry and could have been related to Roman activity to retrieve limestone for lime mortar. Further field walking was recommended. [Au(adp)] |
