Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometry survey was carried out over approximately 10 hectares of grassland to trace a culvert detected to the north and assumed to continue in to this site. Anomalies have been identified in the north east corner of the site which are likely to be the culvert continuing for approximately 80m. After this point the signal is lost. It is unclear why the signal is lost but the most likely possibility is that the culvert runs close to a field boundary and the anomaly is concealed by strong magnetic disturbance caused by metal within the fence. A number of other land drains and a former sluice channel have been detected. Further linear anomalies and discrete responses are of uncertain origin, and are possibly associated with the landscaped park of Hagley Hall. The remaining features are natural or modern and include underground services, scattered magnetic debris, ferrous objects related to former sports pitches, and evidence of modern ploughing. |
