Abstract: |
Archaeological Surveys Ltd carried out a magnetometer survey at Common Farm, Wroughton within an area that has been outlined by Swindon Borough Council to be included for planting for the Great Western Community Forest. The survey area and land to the west contains a series of linear ditches that appear to pre-date the current field layout. The results of the survey show a number of predominantly negative linear anomalies, partly forming a grid that relate to a series of field drainage ditches. The site also contains a small number of discrete positive responses that appear to relate to pit-like features, although their origin is uncertain. A small number of short, weakly positive anomalies have been located in the western part of the site, but these lack definition and cannot be confidently interpreted as cut, ditch-like features. |
