Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey at the above site. It has been prepared for AC Archaeology Ltd as part of a Bradninch community research project. There is aerial photographic evidence for an potentially pre-historic or Romano-British enclosure within the survey area. This survey was designed to test for the presence and nature of any such enclosure. The magnetic responses across the survey area were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Fifty-eight magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential archaeological deposits or features. An enclosure originally mapped using aerial photographic evidence was clear in the dataset. Five groups external to the enclosure have characteristics typical of anomalies representing fragments of former field or enclosure boundaries of unknown date. Two similar groups were recorded within the enclosure and may represent similar deposits or features related to the enclosure. An area of enhanced magnetic response may represent disrupted archaeological deposits within the enclosure. The remaining anomaly groups mapped as representing potential archaeological deposits have characteristics typical of filled hollows or pits. Many will represent natural deposits but they are recorded as potential archaeological deposits given their proximity to the enclosure. |
