Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a geophysical survey undertaken on land off St Martin's Road, Gobowen, Shropshire in advance of a planning application for a proposed housing development. A geophysical survey was carried out between 15th and 17th April 2015 using a Bartington 601 dual sensor fluxgate gradiometer. Approximately 6.7ha. was included in the survey. The results have not revealed any definite evidence for any previously unknown significant subsurface archaeological remains within the survey area although a small number of anomalies with some potential to be of archaeological origin have been identified. A number of anomalies can be interpreted with a reasonable amount of certainty from cartographic evidence but the remainder are of unknown origin, although it is likely that these anomalies are also associated with post-medieval coal mining, field division or agricultural practices. |
