Abstract: |
A detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey was successful in identifying a range of anomalies, some of which have a possible archaeological origin and are worthy of further investigation. Two parallel linear trends may be remnants of post-medieval field boundaries that were also present during a programme of archaeological works undertaken to the north of Cawston Road, or could relate to a recently ploughed out agricultural bed. Four weak positive discrete anomalies indicative of rubbish pits and two weak curvilinear anomalies interpreted as a ring ditch or drip gully were also recorded in the dataset, however a geological origin cannot be ruled out. The most interesting results are the two sets of strong dipolar discrete anomalies that have been interpreted as two individual kilns with associated stoke-pits. Kiln fragments were recovered during the last ploughing season just to the north-west which gives credence to this hypothesis. It would be prudent to further evaluate the features of potential archaeological origin by means of a trial trench evaluation to assess the interpretations given in this report. |
