Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 4.8 hectares, was carried out on agricultural land to the east of the Peterborough Gas Compressor Station, prior to the proposed development of the site. Anomalies indicative of possible archaeological activity have been identified in the survey. A boundary ditch and enclosure have been recorded in the north of the survey area and a possible field system or 'ladder' settlement in the south. Five isolated areas of magnetic enhancement have also been identified, two that are possibly evidence of extraction, and with the others perhaps being areas of intense heating, such as kilns. Other anomalies recorded in the survey include three gas pipes and recent agricultural activity. On the basis of the survey, the archaeological potential of the north and south of the site is considered to be high, with a moderate potential throughout the remainder of the site. |
