Abstract: |
This detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey was successful in identifying a range of anomalies, the majority of which are likely to be directly linked with Narborough Bone Mill. Isolated dipolar responses record the presence of ferrous material buried within the topsoil, some of which are potentially associated with material from the mill. The extent of the building's remains have been clearly recorded within the dataset, these readings go slightly beyond what is clearly extant today. Finding the limit of the overflow tunnel has been achieved within the survey area, however it is not known whether the tunnel changes course beneath the river bank. One further area of magnetic enhancement is likely to have been caused by material associated with the mill building and tunnel. One discrete anomaly that may prove to be a rubbish pit associated with the mill has further been recorded, also running outside the survey area towards the river bank. The discontinuous linear area of magnetic enhancement is also worthy of note, interpreted as a possible trackway or possibly ditch bank material or up-cast soil associated with ditch-dredging. Further archaeological investigations would enable the interpretation of the geophysical anomalies given in this report to be tested. |
