Abstract: |
This detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey was successful in identifying a range of anomalies that would benefit from further archaeological investigation. Isolated dipolar responses were most numerous and two areas of magnetic disturbance caused by the proximity of ferrous material were further recorded. A very weak positive curvilinear anomaly indicative of a potential ring-ditch or drip-gully is tentatively interpreted as being of archaeological origin. A series of weak positive discrete anomalies interpreted as archaeological rubbish pits were also recorded within the dataset, seven of which form the line of a potential discontinuous ditch, however a natural or geological origin cannot be ruled out. One weak negative linear trend which is believed to delineate a modern service run was also recorded. It appears that the overall picture is similar to that of the surrounding archaeological area, potential dispersed rubbish pits or possible tree throws and hollows in a landscape dominated by later Iron Age, Roman, Post-medieval and modern agricultural activity. The curvilinear trends provide only weak evidence in support of a potential archaeological settlement. 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. |
