Abstract: |
Detailed magnetic gradiometer survey was undertaken in connection with a proposed partial restoration scheme at Garendon Park, Loughborough, Leicestershire. The surveys totalled 7ha which covered the key areas of the historic planting scheme and its proposed partial restoration. Few archaeological features of direct archaeological significance were identified within the geophysical survey. A curving arc, at least 55m across, on the central southern edge of Area 5 is the clearest and most convincing. This corresponded closely with a cropmark, suggesting the presence of a ditched enclosure in this part of the field and lends more confidence that the lack of response elsewhere reflects a relative lack of features, at least of similar character, elsewhere. None of the survey anomalies can be seen to match elements of the earlier tree planting scheme with any confidence. A large area anomaly giving strong bipolar responses corresponds to the position of a pond or quarry on early mapping. A concentration of post-medieval debris noted during the survey presumably results from infilling of this feature. |
