Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd, at the request of Swindon Borough Council, within the site of Moredon Recreation Ground. The site has been outlined for the development of a multi sports hub which will include the upgrading of sports facilities and the introduction of a number of cycling disciplines. The results of the survey indicate the presence of a number of archaeological features including a series of enclosures near the far south western corner of the site, two linear ditches fragmented by ridge and furrow and a single ring ditch feature in the central western part of the site. There are a number of other weakly positive anomalies of uncertain origin, several of which lie within the vicinity of the archaeological features, others distributed more widely. Elsewhere, anomalies are associated with land drainage, sports pitches and other features of modern origin. A significant proportion of the site has been subject to past landscaping and ground make-up and it is possible that some anomalies below the original ground surface are too deep to locate. In addition, widespread magnetic debris in the north eastern part of the site may also prevent the location of features. |
