Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd on land at Catsbrain Farm, Kingsdown, Stratton St Margaret, Swindon. The survey located a number of pit-like features at the north western end of the site which could have some archaeological potential, although an association with agricultural activity or tree throw pits is possible. The site also contains a number of positive linear and rectilinear anomalies some of which are parallel to linear anomalies relating to agricultural activity and land drainage. It is, therefore, possible that they are also associated with land drainage but they do not have a regular appearance. The survey located numerous anomalies associated with agricultural activity and also two formerly mapped field boundaries. |
