Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out over a single field off Bowden Lane, Henstridge, Somerset, ahead of a planning application for a solar park. The results indicate the presence of widespread anomalies associated with the underlying geology, possible land drains or land divisions, agricultural anomalies and at least two areas of quarrying. Two parallel linear anomalies extend across the southern part of the survey area and appear to have been truncated by quarrying. These east to west aligned anomalies may relate to cut, linear ditches. Other positive linear anomalies are also evident, with a fragmented linear feature in the north western corner of the site. Some linear anomalies of uncertain origin may relate to land drainage. |
