Abstract: |
A magnetic gradiometer survey was carried out over approximately 2.7ha of agricultural land in Poringland, Norfolk. The data collected has identified a scattering of discrete positive anomalies indicative of former cut features such as pits evident across the site. Also noted are negative linear responses probably of agricultural origin and possible thermoremanent features which may be of archaeological interest. A weak linear trend is also seen in the north of the site and is of uncertain origin. Earth resistance data was also collected over the north of the survey area and has identified a series of low resistance anomalies indicative of former cut features of probable archaeological origin which correlate with the location of cropmarks identified though aerial photography. Also noted is a zone of high resistance possibly indicating areas of compacted ground and a region of low resistance in the south which is probably of geological origin. Earth resistance data collected from the south of the site will be included in the final report. The site consists of approximately 2.7ha of agricultural land. An area in the east has been divided from the main site by a bank and is currently in use as a car park and storage area. At the time of survey, a dense, knee high crop was present across much of the site which hampered data collection and affected its quality. |
