Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land off Main Road, Kempsey, Worcestershire. The project was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of a proposed development. The site comprises an arable field to the west of Main Road, approximately 6.6km south of Worcester. The site occupies an area of relatively flat land, sloping down towards the west towards the River Severn. The gradiometer survey covered 2.54ha and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with several regions of increased magnetic response. Only very small positive anomalies were identified in the data that were classed as possible archaeology. Given their lack of any significant spatial patterning it is considered likely that these are geological, but an archaeological origin cannot be entirely discounted. The geophysical survey was undertaken on the 23rd September 2013. The archive is currently held at Wessex Archaeology's Salisbury office and if required will be deposited in due course. |
