Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology were commissioned by Nottingham City Council and Lenton Local Historical Society to undertake a geophysical survey on five areas of what was believed to be relatively undisturbed ground surrounding the remains of Lenton Priory and the Chapel of St Anthony. The aim of the project was to assess the level of preservation of buried archaeological remains allowing for a series of future research and management objectives to be devised based on the results of the survey. Although the five areas which were surveyed were reasonable small, numerous geophysical anomalies were identified. The magnetic responses ranged from reasonably strong to particularly faint and included positive, negative and dipolar features (a mixed positive/negative signal). The majority of the anomalies are believed to represent buried archaeological features and, based on the spatial organisation of the anomalies, it has been possible to provisionally phase them and tentatively attribute them to both medieval and post medieval periods of land use. |
