Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd within a small part of the interior of Norbury Camp Iron Age hillfort, at the request of landowner, Mr Clive Slatter of Hill House Farm, near Farmington, Gloucestershire. The survey was carried out prior to the development of a new agricultural building within the centre of the hillfort, which contains a number of agricultural and residential buildings and tracks. The development area is approximately 0.5ha in extent, but the survey was also carried out in an extended zone to the west and south in order to gain a wider understanding of potential features. The results of the survey show evidence for possible quarrying, with a number of pits and other pit-like responses. It is possible that the quarrying and other pits have an archaeological origin, and although a number of weakly positive linear anomalies were located, these lack a coherent morphology and cannot be confidently interpreted as cut, ditch-like features. A cluster of positive discrete and short positive linear anomalies are located within the development zone but the majority of the anomalies located, including the possible quarry pits, lie outside of this zone. |
