Abstract: |
Detailed magnetic gradiometer survey was undertaken in connection with proposed development on land north of Wellingborough Road, Sywell, Northamptonshire. The survey area totalled c. 24ha. The survey revealed a number of linear and curvilinear features of potential archaeological origin, for the most part in the southwestern area of the field. However, overall responses are very weak with little magnetic contrast, so that natural variation may be responsible for some of the less coherent and more intermittent response. Former areas of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation produce a clear response in the north and east, but otherwise the most obvious anomalies can be matched to the locations of field boundaries and ponds shown on earlier mapping but since removed. |
