Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering 6.75 hectares, was carried as part of pre-determination work for a proposed housing development at Cottam, on the north-western periphery of Preston, Lancashire. The route of a Roman Road is thought to pass immediately to the south of the site although no anomalies have been identified to indicate either the presence of the road nor any associated roadside activity. Ridge and furrow cultivation has been identified within the east of the site, whilst the majority of the anomalies identified relate to the 19th century agricultural landscape as depicted on historical Ordnance Survey mapping. Based on the results of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential of this site is thought to be low. |
