Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey hereafter referred to as the survey area. It has been prepared for AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients. The magnetic responses across the survey area were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Twenty-nine magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing possible archaeological deposits or features. Two of these groups represent former field boundaries recorded on historic maps. One group may represent a deposit of craft or industrial material. It lies approximately 40m to the west of an anomaly group which may represent an in-situ heated deposit such as that produced by pottery or metal production. Modern origins cannot be ruled out for either of these anomaly groups but their relative juxtaposition adds to the feasibility that they represent archaeological deposits. To the south in the same field two anomaly groups may represent an alignment of pits and a group of pits. The remaining mapped anomaly groups are most likely to represent linear and disrupted linear deposits, such as former ditches or banks, of unknown period and probably from more than one phase of past land management. |
