Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey 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. None were mapped in the accessible parts of areas 1 and 2. Seven of these anomaly groups represent former field boundaries recorded on historic maps. Four groups have a distinct and unusually clear presence in the dataset. They may have archaeological significance such as industrial or craft deposits although a modern origin is equally likely. One group is most likely to represent a former field boundary or narrow, ditched lane removed before AD 1839. Four groups may represent areas of rubble of unknown origin or near surface bedrock. The remaining groups are most likely to represent linear and disrupted linear deposits, such as former ditches or banks, of unknown period and from one or more phases of past land management. |
