Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 42 hectares was carried out on agricultural land at Trowbridge, Wiltshire, to inform the determination of an outline planning application for a proposed solar farm development. Anomalies have been identified which locate service pipes, former field boundaries, ridge and furrow cultivation, field drains and a former pond. A linear band of magnetic disturbance aligned east-west across the centre of the site locates an area where modern material has been used to infill a valley and water course to level the land. Three rectilinear trends have been recorded in the north of the survey area, which may be associated with archaeological remains, although an agricultural cause is deemed equally plausible. On the basis of the magnetic survey, the archaeological potential of the site is considered to be low |
