Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 45 hectares was carried out at Aston House, near Sudbury, Derbyshire, to support a planning application for a proposed solar park development. Many of the anomalies are due to agricultural activity, locating former field boundaries, field drains and cultivation trends. Most of the remaining anomalies are interpreted as having a natural origin being due to variations in the composition of the upper soil horizons and superficial deposits (river terrace sands and gravels to the north of the site and alluvium to the south). No anomalies of obvious archaeological origin have been identified. However, a linear anomaly, which might be caused by a soil-filled ditch, and an adjacent cluster of pit-type anomalies have been identified on the river terrace deposits to the east of the site. These anomalies are interpreted as of possible archaeological potential although non-archaeological causes are considered equally plausible. Therefore, on the basis of the survey the site is considered to have a low archaeological potential. |
