Abstract: |
A magnetic survey was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to prospect for buried features of potential archaeological interest at Land at Florida Farm, St Helens, Merseyside. Survey was undertaken using an ATV-towed and GNSS-tracked array of caesium vapour magnetometers in a transverse non-gradiometric configuration. The coverage of the surveyable area was near complete, with only a small area with nesting birds excluded from data collection. The landscape depicted in 1849, much of which was altered by the end of that century, is clearly visible in the data. There is little in the magnetic data that obviously pre-dates this layout, though some probable boundary ditches may do so. The coal mining activity has left traces across the landscape, including the tramway, possible buildings and features related to land drainage. Any features relating to extraction prior to 1849 were not clearly identifiable but may yet exist within the site. The discussion of mine entries in this report is based upon interpretation of the magnetic data in conjunction with Coal Authority map data supplied by CgMs Consulting. A more definitive mapping of these is beyond the scope of the work commissioned. |
