Abstract: |
Stratascan were commissioned by Albion Archaeology to undertake a geophysical survey of an area outlined for development. A magnetic susceptibility survey with subsequent targeted detailed gradiometry was carried out in Area H17, south of Leighton Buzzard. Five areas were chosen for detailed survey from the results of the magnetic susceptibility. Situated in the centre of the survey area are a series of agricultural marks and possible field boundaries that may be associated with a medieval field system. The east of the survey area is dominated by agricultural marks of possible modern origin. Two possible field drains have been identified in Area 3 along with two positive area anomalies that may represent cut features of archaeological origin. Situated in the west of the survey area are a series of positive area and linear anomalies. These anomalies may be of archaeological or pedological origin. Further intrusive investigation is needed to understand the nature and extent of these anomalies. Two services have been identified within the survey area, one situated in the western end of the survey and another running from a pylon in the northeast of the survey across Areas 1and 4. |
