Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd, at the request of Foundations Archaeology, on behalf of Public Power Solutions Ltd ahead of a planning application for a solar farm at Common Farm, Wroughton. The survey located a number of positive and negative responses within the majority of the site, but they generally lack a coherent morphology and definition preventing confident interpretation. Several negative linear anomalies can be seen which may relate to drainage features, but these tend to lie within the existing, or recent field boundary layout. A zone of parallel positive linear anomalies can be seen in the eastern part of the site, and it is not clear if these relate to some form of agricultural or drainage activity. Discrete positive anomalies were located in most of the survey areas and some may be indicative of pit-like features. Within the western part of the site several are aligned and may indicate a former boundary feature; however, it is not possible to determine if they are ancient or relatively modern. There are also a number of amorphous positive responses that may indicate natural fluvial features such as former palaeochannels. |
