Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 0.5 hectares was carried out at the proposed location of a housing development near Manor Farm, Bessacarr, south-east of Doncaster. The survey was undertaken to determine the full extent of a probable area of Iron Age/Romano-British metal-working, partially defined by a previous geophysical survey and subsequently revealed by trial trenching. The current survey has clearly defined a broad area of intense magnetic disturbance, measuring approximately 25m by 30m, which is assumed to define the main area of metalworking. Less intense readings around the periphery of this disturbance probably define the limits of the industrial activity. Discrete low magnitude anomalies to the east and north are considered to have some archaeological potential given the activity in the immediate area. |
