Abstract: |
Geophysical (magnetometer) survey was carried out at several locations adjacent to the River Laver at Birkby Nab, north-west of Ripon in advance of proposed flood alleviation works. Numerous magnetic anomalies have been identified although many are caused by recent agricultural activity (ploughing and drainage), whilst others have a geological origin being caused either by deposition resulting from flooding, the accumulation of material at the base of slopes, the silting up of former meanders or the presence of magnetic river cobbles or river gravels. In addition several anomalies of archaeological potential have been identified. |
