Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Salisbury District Council to conduct a geophysical survey on land at Hudson's Field, Salisbury, ahead of a proposed development. A detailed gradiometer survey was carried out over approximately 1.4ha using a Bartington Grad601-2 dual sensor gradiometer system in 30m x 30m grids. The survey did not identify any anomalies interpreted to be of archaeological significance. The majority of the dataset was affected by strong magnetic disturbance, caused largely by modern buildings adjacent to the survey area and the presence of a metalled vehicle track. Any weaker anomalies of archaeological origin will have been masked by the stronger ferrous responses and areas of disturbance. Given the proximity of the survey area to the multi-period site of Old Sarum, the existence of significant archaeological features, whilst unlikely, cannot be precluded by this survey. |
