Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 4.5 hectares was carried out around the junction of the A64 with the B1248 Scarborough Road, to the east of Malton, prior to a series of improvements to the Brambling Fields intersection. The survey has identified anomalies across all parts of the site although none have been interpreted as of probable archaeological origin. The majority of the anomalies are considered to have no archaeological potential being due to natural variation in the superficial sand and gravel deposits and upper soil horizons or to relatively recent activity related to agricultural practice or to the construction of the road junction in the mid 1970s. Several linear anomalies have been identified any of which could have archaeological potential. However, the narrow width of the survey areas makes a confident interpretation difficult and it is considered equally likely that these anomalies could also have a recent origin. Overall the survey results indicate a low to moderate archaeological potential confirming the conclusions of an earlier desk-based assessment. |
