Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over approximately 19.6 hectares of agricultural land to the south of Swaffham in Norfolk. This survey has identified a series of positive linear anomalies indicative of a rectilinear double ditch feature of probable archaeological origin. Further positive linear anomalies have been identified in close proximity to this response and may also be of archaeological interest. Responses likely to be associated with historic field boundaries have also been identified as have anomalies indicative of agricultural activity. Further weak positive and negative responses are identified across the site and are of possible archaeological origin. A single possible thermoremanent anomaly is seen in the north west of the site, alongside a moderate strength anomaly of uncertain origin. Magnetic disturbance and debris is apparent across the site, predominantly around the field boundaries, however an area of disturbance possibly associated with a former quarry site is evident. |
