Abstract: |
A sample geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 15 hectares in 30m wide transects was carried out at the proposed site of a gravel quarry near Kirkby Fleetham. Numerous anomalies have been identified in all of the survey transects. However, the overwhelming majority can be attributed directly or indirectly to features such as field boundaries, trackways, a plantation and river defences shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1857. In addition others are due to ploughing or to land drainage. Given the nature of the superficial geology many of the discrete anomalies that have been identified are considered likely to be due to variation in the soils and drift. Whilst no anomalies have been identified as having a definite archaeological potential several have been identified that could be caused by underlying archaeological features. However, on balance, taking account of the location of the site, it is considered likely that a non-archaeological cause for the majority of these anomalies is probable. Therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey undertaken to date the site is considered as having a low archaeological potential. |
