Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd, at the request of Cotswold Archaeology, on the site of the former Royal High School Playing Field on the northern edge of Bath. The results reveal positive linear and discrete anomalies that appear to relate to natural features such as joints, cracks and fissures within the underlying limestone geology. One positive discrete anomaly appears to relate to a pit-like feature larger than the majority of the natural features, and while it may also be natural, an anthropogenic origin is possible. Amorphous weakly positive or magnetically variable responses may indicate former quarrying; however, they may also be natural in origin. |
