Abstract: |
The main aims of the survey were to locate a buried well recorded on historic maps and a water pipe. Any potential buried archaeology was to be reported according to standard CIfA practice. A magnetometer survey was selected to provide a relatively fast and cost-effective evaluation of a well recorded on historic maps in Plot 3, a water pipe thought to cross Plot 1 and any buried archaeology across the Survey Area. One anomaly group, representing buried iron or steel and situated on the eastern side of a lane leading to now demolished buildings, may represent objects associated with the site of the former well in Plot 3. A small section of extant water pipe located by a gate leading from Plot 3 to the Butcher Park Hill road was mapped and photographed. It is thought to pass through rock towards the location of the anomaly group. One anomaly group may represent a service trench and is a candidate for the location of the targeted water pipe in Plot 1. Six magnetic anomaly groups have been characterised as representing potential buried archaeology. Of these, five groups may represent buried linear archaeological deposits such as fragments of former field and enclosure boundaries removed before the first edition Ordnance Survey map of the area was published in 1884-5. One anomaly group is likely to represent disturbed ground with some stony deposits and ferrous material, possibly a former small quarry or similar excavated pit. |
