Abstract: |
A magnetometer survey covering approximately 4.5 hectares was carried out in Bramham Park over an area of intense cropmarks interpreted as part of a system of fields/enclosures of probable late Prehistoric, Roman or early post-Roman date which may also include the location of a Roman villa. Apart from two small areas on the northern and southern edges of the survey area, where archaeological anomalies have been identified, the data is characterised by very strong linear anomalies which are thought to be caused by a system of field drains possibly recently installed to improve drainage in a part of the estate used for parking during events held in the park. Against this background it is impossible to identify any anomalies that might correlate with the cropmarks or any other underlying archaeological features. It is unclear what impact the installation of the drains may have had on any underlying archaeological features. However, a resistance survey covering part of the same area has identified low resistance anomalies indicative of ditches forming part of the cropmark system. On this basis it can be assumed that the drainage system may not have had too great a detrimental effect on the underlying archaeological resource. Unfortunately, the extent of the resource remains unquantified. |
