Abstract: |
Cultivation works had been undertaken across the field within which the Romano-British town Magna is situated. These works were un-authorised as they had been carried out without Scheduled Monument Consent. It was also apparent that the site had be subjected to systematic metal detecting on a number of occasions. Herefordshire Archaeology, was contracted to undertake a series of investigations within the Scheduled Ancient Monument which included the excavation of six small trenches, a series of field-walked grids and a sample metal detector survey, in order to define what activities had taken place within he scheduled area and quantify the degree to which this has caused damage to archaeological deposits. |
