Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd, at the request of Cotswold Archaeology, on land at Broadway Farm, Down Ampney, Gloucestershire. The survey covered 1ha within an area of rough vegetation immediately to the north, and within the same plot of land, as a previous geophysical survey and evaluation which located a number of linear ditches containing 11th -13th pottery. The present survey located a positive linear anomaly that may be a continuation of a linear ditch revealed by the evaluation. Other linear anomalies were either weak, short or indistinct, but is it possible that some may relate to cut, ditch-like features. A small number of pit-like responses has also been located, but their origin is uncertain. A number of positive and negative linear anomalies along the north eastern corner may relate to former garden boundaries that were mapped until the late 20th century. A zone of magnetic debris is also likely to be associated with them and also possibly material from a smithy, formerly located immediately to the north east. Anomalies associated with ridge and furrow also exist within the site. |
