Abstract: |
A range of anomalies were detected within the dataset, unfortunately none of which can be definitively assigned a probable archaeological origin. Alluvial deposits laid down by the River Ver (located approximately 100m from the centre of the survey grid) could be masking potential archaeological anomalies. The relatively high magnetic background of the site could also prevent weak, low contrast anomalies from being detected. It is likely that this area has been a floodplain for some considerable time and therefore only suitable for farmland due to highly fertile soil and occasional flooding. The background research shows this land-use continued until it was turned into Verulamium Park. This interpretation is given further credence by the lack of archaeological features present during an archaeological evaluation undertaken nearby. |
