Abstract: |
Andrew Josephs Ltd commissioned Northamptonshire Archaeology to conduct an archaeological geophysical survey on land at Field Farm, to the south of Dimmock's Cote Quarry, Wicken, Cambridgeshire, in November 2009. Approximately 19.5ha was investigated by detailed magnetic gradiometer survey. This revealed a dense palimpsest of natural and anthropogenic anomalies. Several sets of possible archaeological features could be distinguished, indicating the presence of at least two enclosures and various pits, perhaps of Iron Age or Roman date. Traces of ridge and furrow cultivation were also identified. Other anomalies were of an indeterminate nature and could not be interpreted with confidence. |
