Abstract: |
This report is an update of an earlier report to include an additional area of approximately 0.47ha originally covered by a bund. No new potential archaeological features were recorded during the additional survey. Two potential linear features recorded in the 2016 survey were found to extend into the additional area. Both of these are most likely to be former field or enclosure boundaries. Fifty-eight magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing possible archaeological deposits or features and two distinct trends in the data were identified as possible historical ridge-and-furrow ploughing. Of the fifty-eight anomaly groups, one distinct sub-circular group is most likely to represent a ring ditch, round house or similar archaeological feature and one adjacent group may represent a second such feature although it is far less clear. A cluster of anomalies lying between these two groups may be indicative of a body of large postholes or pits. A third sub-circular group may represent a stony deposit ringed by a ditch. Three anomaly groups may represent in-situ, strongly heated deposits such as those from kilns or furnaces. A number of areas of enhanced magnetic responses were mapped as possible areas of archaeological deposits that cannot be further characterised. One strong magnetic response coincides with a modern golf practice distance marker but its characteristics indicate a possible archaeological origin. The remaining mapped anomaly groups are most likely to represent linear and curvilinear deposits, such as former ditches or banks. |
