Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey at the above site, 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. Eighteen magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential archaeological deposits or features. One anomaly group may represent a double ditched, curvilinear feature and may be part of a former enclosure. An adjacent group may represent an area of archaeological deposition partially scattered by later ridge-and-furrow and modern ploughing. Within the same field, one group may represent part of a former ditch-edged routeway. Elsewhere three groups may represent a single entity or a group of deposits, They may be archaeological in nature but cannot be further characterised. One nearby group may represent an archaeological pit or a modern deposit or artefact. An adjacent anomaly group may represent a pit. The other anomaly groups mapped as representing potential archaeological deposits and features have patterns that typically represent former field and enclosure boundaries of unknown date and possibly of more than one phase of past land management |
