Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 2 hectares, was carried out on land to the south of Thornton Road, Pickering. Although much of the site was unsuitable for survey anomalies caused by field drains and ridge and furrow ploughing have been identified. Some of the ridge and furrow was still visible as slight linear earthworks. A line of 'iron spike' anomalies locates a former field boundary which is shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey mapping of 1854. No anomalies of obvious archaeological potential have been identified and therefore on the basis of the geophysical survey the site is considered to have a relatively low archaeological potential. |
