Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 14 hectares was carried out on land bordering Slyer's Lane, near Dorchester in advance of the proposed development of the site for a six turbine windfarm. Anomalies indicative of sub-surface archaeological remains have been identified although there is little obvious correlation between the previously identified cropmarks, which are mostly in areas where there are no superficial deposits, and the recorded magnetic anomalies. A small enclosure, possible round barrow and at least two linear ditch type features have been identified. Throughout the site the data is dominated by anomalies due to variation in the superficial deposits. On the basis of the survey the archaeological potential of the overall scheme is assessed as low but locally moderate to high. |
