Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 5 hectares was carried out on land to the north of Brakes Farm, near Sedgefield, in advance of proposed development. The most prominent and extensive anomalies are caused by the former practice of ridge and furrow ploughing. Several pit type anomalies have been identified immediately south of Brick Kiln Plantation (in Area C) that may locate a small cluster of clay extraction pits. Similar anomalies are also identified in the other two survey blocks. However, a geological cause for these anomalies cannot be discounted. No anomalies likely to be indicative of earlier archaeological activity have been identified |
