Abstract: |
A geophysical survey was carried out over the site of a scheduled bowl barrow, 200m east of East Kennett long barrow forming part of a barrow cemetery (Monument No: 1014036 (SM 28103)) under the Environmental Stewardship Higher Level Scheme. A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out over the entire 11.2ha field and the results show the location of the scheduled round barrow in the form of a 30m ring ditch with some indication of the internal mound. An earth resistance survey was also conducted over the scheduled barrow and within an area to the west targeting further archaeological features. The location of the two further ring ditches, recorded from aerial photographs either side of the scheduled barrow, have also been confirmed. A previously unrecorded fourth barrow has also been located, together with a number of linear ditches in the vicinity of the barrows. Two positive linear anomalies appear to extend towards the south eastern end of the East Kennett long barrow and these may be associated. A rectangular enclosure in the south eastern part of the field may relate to a medieval sheep fold. |
