Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 10 hectares, was carried out at Sheraton, County Durham, in advance of the proposed construction of a five turbine windfarm. The survey covered areas of 1 hectare, centred on each turbine base, and a 20m wide corridor along the route of the access tracks and cable runs. Other areas of infrastructure were also covered. No anomalies of obvious archaeological potential have been identified with the majority of anomalies interpreted as of geological origin due to the presence of glacial till deposits, some of which form hummocks which are the proposed locations for the turbines. Despite the potential of the surrounding landscape the areas likely to be impacted by the proposed development appear to have a low potential based on the results of the geophysical survey. |
