Abstract: |
A magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd on an area of land to the south west of Ashton Keynes in Wiltshire. The geophysics was commissioned by Optimise (Water) LLP prior to installation of a new water main. The survey was conducted over a 575m long corridor with a width of approximately 22m along most of its length. The survey located a number of positive linear and discrete anomalies that may indicate ditch-like and pit-like features respectively, although it is uncertain as to whether these are formed naturally or are anthropogenic in origin. However, the presence of amorphous and broad positive anomalies tends to imply the presence of naturally formed features along much of the survey corridor. The results do not appear to demonstrate a clear correlation between magnetic anomalies and cropmark features extending across the site. |
