Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 8 hectares, was carried out in a field to the south of Ripon Quarry, an area on which it is proposed to store topsoil which will be removed as part of the southern expansion of the quarry workings. The location of a square enclosure of presumed late Iron Age or Romano-British date has been identified confirming the cropmark evidence. A possible pit alignment and other linear and discrete anomalies also suggest archaeological activity in the eastern half of the survey area which is assessed as having a locally high archaeological potential. In the western half of the survey area only anomalies due to ploughing, former field boundaries and geological variation have been noted. This part of the site is assessed as having a low archaeological potential. |
