Abstract: |
Wates Construction commissioned Wessex Archaeology to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey on land adjacent to the De Warenne Academy ahead of proposed redevelopment. In total, 5.2ha was suitable for geophysical survey and the Site, approximately centred on OS NGR SK 506 989, is located 7.7km from the town of Doncaster. Extensive regions of magnetic disturbance are seen within the dataset across the Site. Where the effects of this disturbance are not so pronounced, it has been possible to identify a number of linear anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest. Towards the northeastern corner of the Site, a network of rectilinear anomalies may represent a series of enclosures or field systems. Further linear anomalies are seen across the northern and northwestern portions of the survey area, although the extent of magnetic disturbance has masked any possible associations between these responses. The archaeological site identified by the DBA was not positively identified by the geophysical survey, although it is possible that any magnetic response associated with it has been masked by the widespread magnetic noise. Coherent ferrous anomalies caused by existing sports equipment, such as goalposts, are seen across the survey area. Rectilinear modern services are considered to be associated with the former allotments at the Site and may have provided water. Extended regions of magnetic disturbance may relate to former terracing or levelling. |
