Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd ahead of a new sewer pipe installation by Wessex Water, within two areas to the west of Hullavington in Wiltshire. At the northern end of Area 1, in the southern part of the site, are a number of positive linear and rectilinear anomalies. Due to the restricted width of the survey area and numerous anomalies relating to the shallow geology the origin of the anomalies is uncertain. However, they have linear and rectilinear elements and they are located close to an area of linear and rectilinear cropmarks and an archaeological origin should be considered. Other linear and discrete anomalies have also been located as well as widespread anomalies of natural origin. Within Area 2, forming the northern part of the survey, are a series of ridge and furrow and a zone of colluvium or alluvium. A number of discrete positive responses of uncertain origin were located and also a fragmented positive linear anomaly that may be associated with an existing sewer pipe trench. |
