Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was undertaken by Archaeological Surveys Ltd within an irregularly shaped land parcel to the east of Bowling Green Lane, on the northern edge of Cirencester in Gloucestershire. The results of the survey indicate the presence of a linear ditch following the contour of the site along the western side with a possible continuation close to the southern boundary. Within the eastern part of the site are a cluster of pits, that although may have some association with quarrying, are well defined and contain a moderately enhanced fill, which may indicate an archaeological origin. Weaker and magnetically variable responses with irregular morphologies relate to former quarrying seen primarily in the north eastern part of the site. There is also evidence of relatively modern quarry infill within the south western part of the site. Other positive linear and discrete anomalies have been located; however, these lack a coherent or well defined morphology and while they may relate to cut features, their origin is uncertain. |
