Abstract: |
A magnetometer survey covering approximately 5.5 hectares was carried out at eight locations along the route of the proposed A19 Burn Bypass. Magnetic anomalies caused by buried services and by ferrous debris are prominent in the results. Linear trend anomalies of an unknown origin have also been identified although underlying non-archaeological causes are considered probable. The magnetic survey has not identified any anomalies that are interpreted as probably archaeological in nature. However, it should be noted that the magnetic response on the prevailing soils can be variable such that the archaeological potential may be greater than initially suggested by the results of the magnetic survey. Nevertheless the archaeological potential of this site, based on the results of this survey and of a previous desk-based appraisal, is considered to be fairly low. |
