Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd over land to the west of Cirencester Road on the north eastern edge of Tetbury in Gloucestershire. The results indicate the presence of a broad positive linear response that appears to relate to a 2.5m wide ditch, with a second conjoined ditch leading towards the east. A moderately enhanced discrete anomaly close to the ditches may relate to a pit containing burnt material. Several other weakly positive discrete and linear responses have been located, and although some of the linear responses may relate to agricultural activity, it is not clear if others relate to cut pit-like and ditch-like features. Large amounts of magnetic debris were also located, particularly around the periphery of the site. It is likely that this material is modern in origin and associated with dumped soil or ground consolidation. |
