Abstract: |
Detailed magnetic gradiometer survey was undertaken for Larkfleet Homes Ltd on land off of Grantham Road, Sleaford, Lincolnshire. The survey area comprised two agricultural fields located to the north and south of Grantham Road and encompassed an area of c.14ha. Magnetometer survey identified few anomalies of potential archaeological origin. A positive linear anomaly in the northern field may represent a former field boundary; three others were identified that might represent cut features. Two negative linear anomalies in the northern field were also identified. One may represent a drainage feature; the other was produced by a water pipeline. Magnetic disturbance is present in the northern and southern ends of the northern field, but with the exception of occasional metal items in the topsoil there is little indication of modern disturbance across the northern field as a whole. Extensive magnetic disturbance covering an area of roughly 4.5ha was recorded in the western half of the southern field and is probably associated with the construction of the adjacent Sleaford bypass (A15). |
