Abstract: |
Magnetometry was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd within two survey areas at Bugley Barton Farm on the south western edge of Warminster in Wiltshire. The survey located a number of weakly positive linear, curvilinear and discrete responses with both survey areas; however they are poorly defined, short and lack a coherent morphology preventing confident interpretation. The underlying Upper Greensand geology can be associated with poor magnetic contrast between the fill of cut features and the material into which they are cut, and it is possible that the anomalies could relate to ditch-like and pit-like features. A number of formerly mapped field boundaries, land drains and ridge and furrow have also been located. The entire site contains magnetic contamination, concentrated into zones close to the farm, pond and gateways but also widespread indicating that ferrous material has been incorporated into the topsoil through the process of manuring. |
