Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd at the request of the Trustees of Poulton Playing Field and Allotment Charity ahead of a potential extension to the Englands Sports Field in Poulton, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The sports field is known to contain a Romano-British settlement with enclosures, pottery scatters and the remains of at least four buildings. The survey was commissioned to locate features that may extend westwards into the proposed sports field extension. The results of the survey indicate that the northern part of the site contains a number of positive linear and rectilinear anomalies that are likely to directly relate to the settlement site. The central part of the survey area has been subject to former quarrying which is not recorded on Ordnance Survey mapping and may be of some antiquity, possibly associated with the Roman site immediately to the east. However, it is possible that the ground disturbance associated with the quarry is more recent and has removed or truncated any archaeological features that may have existed within the central part of the site. |
