Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 12 hectares was carried out on land at Churcher's Common, near Chandlers Ford, to inform an application for the development of the site. Several rectilinear anomalies of unknown origin have been recorded. Possible causes include backfilled extraction pits (sand or clay), or activity associated with charcoal working; map regression has shown that the site was wooded from at least the late 19th century until the mid-20th century. A post-medieval to modern origin is considered most likely. No anomalies of archaeological potential correspond with the recorded cropmarks, other than areas of geological variation. Therefore, the cropmark is not thought to be the result of archaeological remains. Consequently, on the basis of the survey, the archaeological potential of the site is considered to be moderate to low. |
