Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 1.7 hectares, was carried out on land west of Chapel Street, to support a planning application for the proposed development of the site for housing. The survey has identified anomalies indicative of post-medieval and recent agricultural practice, including former boundaries, pipes and former ploughing regimes. Anomalies caused by variation in the composition and depth of the topsoil are also noted. No anomalies of archaeological potential have been identified. Areas of ferrous disturbance occur along the established boundaries of the survey area, with evidence of agricultural practice throughout. Consequently, on the basis of the survey, the archaeological potential of the site is considered to be low. |
