Abstract: |
In October 2014 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) conducted a geophysical survey of land at Slade Farm, Hedgerley, Buckinghamshire (NGR SP 966 883). The evaluation was commissioned by Ingrebourne Valley Ltd in advance of the proposed mineral extraction and backfilling of the site with inert material, and it was required by the Local Planning Authority, based on advice from Buckinghamshire County Archaeological Service (BCAS), prior to the determination of the planning application. The survey identified 13 positive small circular anomalies which most likely represent small pits and could be of archaeological origin. A tight cluster of five positive anomalies are situated in the south-eastern field and could tentatively interpreted as a pit cluster. The remaining eight are broadly scattered in the southern area of the western field. It also identified four large weak dipolar ovoid anomalies which are most likely related to disturbance from post-medieval quarrying, outlined in the desk based assessment (Thompson, 2011). The conducive geology and presence of possible archaeological anomalies suggests that the survey has been successful. The remaining anomalies are of modern origin, relating to agricultural activity and ferrous objects. |
