Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering 16 hectares, was carried out on agricultural land south-east of Chesterton Farm, Cirencester to provide further information on the extent and layout of archaeological features within a possible Romano-British settlement site which is protected as a scheduled monument (Ref. GC 464). The results from this survey relate to the southern portion of the scheduled monument and contribute to the findings of a previous geophysical survey which previously took place within the Chesterton Farm area. Anomalies indicative of two distinct settlement sites have been identified either side of a low valley. Within the northernmost enclosure, anomalies suggestive of multiphase occupation have been identified, with a possible structure also identified. In addition, several linear anomalies may represent a field system and three possible extraction sites have also been identified. Therefore, on the basis of the survey, the archaeological potential of site is assessed as being high in the north-west and south-east and moderate elsewhere. |
