Abstract: |
The differences in magnetic responses across the Survey Area were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible buried archaeology and background magnetic responses. Fifteen magnetic anomaly groups were characterised as representing potential archaeological deposits. Of these, three groups are likely to represent field boundaries recorded on the 1840 Tithe Map but not on later historic Ordnance Survey maps. Three groups may depict linear archaeological deposits such as ditches. They are straight and on a different orientation to surrounding extant field boundaries that have likely medieval origins. They have not been recorded on historic maps dating from 1840 onwards. Three additional groups have comparable characteristics and may represent similar buried archaeology. Two groups may indicate the presence archaeological pits although natural origins cannot be ruled out. One group may represent a curvilinear deposit such as a ditch. It is not clear whether or not this group conforms to the pattern of the surrounding field boundaries but it does conform to the contours of the land within the field. Three groups may represent linear archaeological deposits of uncertain provenance. |
