Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 23 hectares, was carried out on agricultural land east of Woodlands Farm, Calcott, to inform the determination of an outline planning application for a proposed solar park. The survey has identified anomalies caused by geology, sub-surface pipes and a probable field drain. No anomalies of archaeological potential have been recorded and the survey has not identified a possible rectangular enclosure visible as a cropmark on satellite images of the site, nor an extensive system of field drains in the same part of the site, also clearly visible as cropmarks. This suggests that it may not be possible to detect soil-filled archaeological features, such as ditches pits and gullies (if present), on the prevailing soils and geology. However, even under unfavourable conditions it might be expected that major areas of settlement/occupational activity might be identifiable. On the basis of the survey it is considered unlikely that there are any major areas of archaeological activity on this site, but that there may be features, such as the previously identified enclosure, that are not detectable due to the prevailing soils and geology. |
