Abstract: |
A detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey on the western field at Runway Farm, Parham Airfield, Great Glemham, Suffolk was successful in recording modern features probably related to the former Second World War American airbase. The quieter magnetic background allowed a series of weak positive linear trends, interpreted as modern land drains, to be prospected. Iron spike anomalies were most common, indicating the presence of ferrous material buried within the topsoil during the demolition phases on site. Perpendicular strong dipolar linear trends may demarcate the location of former field boundaries or drains for the airbase. One strong dipolar positive linear trend delineates the edge of the runway. |
