Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out to the north of Baltic Farm, Bishops Cannings, Wiltshire, over 21ha within a site that has three scheduled areas containing seventeen recorded barrows, with eight of them upstanding monuments. The extant barrows are subject to damage by animal burrowing and the survey aims to assist with the ongoing management of the site including badger exclusion measures. The survey produced useful results with ring ditches relating to both extant and levelled barrows. There is, however, some discrepancy with the number of ring ditches in the data and the number of scheduled barrows and ring ditches. The north western part of the site also contains a scheduled Iron Age enclosure lying within a co-axial field system and the magnetometer survey has responded well to the associated ditches. Several discrete pit-like anomalies were located that may have archaeological potential and these include a possible cluster or ring of pits. Amorphous anomalies located at the northern boundary of the survey are immediately adjacent to a Roman road and may be related to small quarries associated with its construction or maintenance. |
