Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 42 hectares, was carried out on agricultural land on the north-western edge of Coventry in advance of the determination of a planning application for a proposed urban expansion scheme. There is a clear correlation between the levels of magnetic contamination and current land-use with a high degree of ferrous contamination on the fields under arable cultivation and a very 'quiet' magnetic background on the pasture fields. Against these varying backgrounds anomalies caused be sub-surface pipes and other modern activity are identified. Anomalies due to ridge and furrow and later ploughing and geological boundaries are also noted. The only features of possible archaeological potential are a line of pit type anomalies towards the east of the site. Overall the archaeological potential of the site is considered to be low. |
