Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was undertaken by Archaeological Surveys Limited, at the request of Taylor Wimpey UK Limited, within a single arable field at Polesworth in North Warwickshire. The survey located a number of mapped and unmapped field boundaries with a possible trackway extending east-west across the site which appears to continue westwards as an existing track. A number of discrete positive responses also appear to be distributed at fairly regular intervals within two lines in the central part of the site and which indicate two lines of possible pits, although their date and function cannot be determined. Other pit-like anomalies have also been located and may also have an anthropogenic origin. A number of positive linear anomalies can be seen in the results and while some may relate to cut features, they are generally weak and poorly defined. A former quarry in the northern part of the site contains very highly magnetic material within the fill. |
