Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients and has been prepared in support of a forthcoming planning application. The location of the proposed development area is shown in Figure 4. The magnetic contrast across the area was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Fourteen magnetic anomaly groups were identified as pertaining to archaeological deposits or structures. Of these, three groups coincide with field boundaries mapped by the Ordnance Survey in 1888 and removed sometime before 1936. Two groups may represent highly heated in-situ deposits that can be associated with, for example, former hearths, kilns, furnaces or cremation burials. One of these groups may have an associated stony deposit. One group represents a possible curvilinear deposit of unknown archaeological provenance. A group of parallel linear deposits are likely to represent former ridge-and-furrow ploughing. The remaining anomaly groups are most likely to represent linear deposits associated with more than one phase of former field and/or enclosure boundaries and which are not recorded on any Ordnance Survey maps. |
