Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 43 hectares was carried out on Worminster Downs, near Wells, Somerset, to support a planning application for a proposed solar park development. Three definite areas of archaeological activity have been identified including a probable Romano-British 'ladder' settlement identified in the vicinity of a previously recorded cluster of Roman pottery and quern stone surface finds. No anomalies have been identified to corroborate the presence of the Roman road or possible Iron Age hillfort which are recorded as being within the proposed development area in the Somerset Historic Environment Record. |
