Abstract:
A geophysical survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd as part of an archaeological assessment of land outlined for a proposed extension to the St John the Baptist Church cemetery at Brokenborough in Wiltshire. The new extension is outlined to be approximately 53m by 15m in the north western part of a pasture field; however, this field contains earthworks relating to the shrunken medieval settlement at Brokenborough. Detailed magnetometery was, therefore, undertaken over a wider area surrounding the proposed cemetery extension in order to aid the interpretation of any anomalies located within it. The results indicate a regular series of linear and rectilinear ditches or holloways defining platforms with some evidence of structural remains. Anomalies within the proposed cemetery extension relate to an extant ditch surrounding a platform with evidence for a former structure just to the south. An additional earth resistance survey was also carried out within the area outlined for the cemetery extension in order to gain a fuller understanding of the potential structural remains. High resistance anomalies were located, possibly indicating structural remains may extend into the cemetery extension. Several further high resistance anomalies that did not have a corresponding magnetic response were also located beyond the cemetery extension area. LiDAR data has also been analysed in order to assist the interpretation of the geophysical anomalies. The LiDAR imagery clearly shows the earthworks in the wider vicinity relating to the shrunken medieval village.
