Abstract: |
A geophysical survey by magnetometry was undertaken by Allen Archaeology Limited for Leicestershire County Council on a c.40ha area off Sysonby Road in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire to support a planning application for a residential development. The geophysical survey has revealed complex of anomalies suggestive of a multi-phase settlement complex focussed on a probable trackway running northwest away from an existing spring. Ridge and furrow anomalies are also evident across the study area. The three fields at the east end of the site produced poor survey results that seems in part due to modern debris identified on the surface of a field. |
