Abstract: |
The gradiometer data from Area A are dominated by magnetic disturbance presumed to be modern and which masks any potential archaeological anomalies. However, a possible former field boundary can be seen within the data. Resistance data from this area are thought to reflect topographic and landscaping features. Area B was less disturbed magnetically and several responses have been noted which could be of archaeological interest. Results from the resistance survey showed an area of high resistance to the west of the survey area. Findings from excavation showed the anomaly to be due to natural gravel. Trends of both high and low resistance have been noted and could be archaeological, however such an interpretation is cautious. While some of the magnetic results from Area B are consistent with settlement alongside Watling Street, no geophysical evidence has been identified to indicate that the site at Syndale forms part of a Roman Fort. |
