Abstract: |
The survey was designed to define and characterise and detectable archaeological remains on the site and to inform any future archaeological investigation of the area. The magnetic contrast across the survey areas was relatively low but sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. A total of 27 magnetic anomaly groups were identified as representing possible archaeological deposits or features, none of which can be related to features recorded on the Ordnance Survey maps of 1889 or later. These potential archaeological deposits or features include field boundaries or similar enclosures, a stony track, two areas of strongly heated material or other craft/industrial related material and one in-situ heating event such as a hearth, kiln or furnace. The number of anomaly groups pertaining to possible archaeology rises to the east of the survey area. This may reflect the deposition of colluvium and/or alluvium across the area rather than the actual density of potential archaeological deposits. Given this low response and the possible sediment depositional patterns, it is certain that more archaeological deposits exist than have been identified in this report. |
