Abstract: |
A geophysical survey comprising magnetic scanning followed by selected detailed magnetometer survey was carried out at the location of the proposed southern extension to Ripon Quarry. The scanning covered the whole of the available area (29 hectares) and the detailed survey 6.5 hectares. Anomalies caused by ploughing and field drains as well as those due to natural features such as palaeochannels and bands of river gravels and more general pedological variation have been identified. No anomalies of probable archaeological potential have been identified. Former field boundaries and cropmarks identified from air photograph analysis have not been identified as magnetic anomalies. The results of the geophysical evaluation confirm the view put forward in an archaeological assessment that this area has a moderate to low archaeological potential. |
