Abstract: |
Detailed magnetic gradiometer survey was undertaken in connection with proposed development on land at Louth Road, Horncastle, Lincolnshire. The survey area totalled some 2.8ha. Features of potential archaeological origin were sparse within the survey. Of the three linear features recorded all are on very regular straight alignments with a somewhat intermittent and/or bipolar response. The strongest might perhaps represent a former field division, but on the whole these all seem most likely to represent the routes of pipes/services of no great antiquity. Modern disturbance, possibly due to the dumping/burial of material within the field, is quite widespread, especially in the southwest corner, but the good expression of the traces of medieval ridge and furrow suggests that archaeological features would show within the survey if more widely present. |
