Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was undertaken by Archaeological Surveys Ltd, at the request of Cotswold Archaeology, on land to the south of Eastington Trading Estate in Gloucestershire. The site comprised two pasture fields that were very waterlogged during the survey period. The results show that much of the site contains widespread strongly magnetic debris, but much of this is contained within former channels and watercourses. The response indicates that there is a high ferrous content and it is likely to be modern in origin. There is also a zone in the north eastern corner which contains numerous discrete positive responses. These may relate to ground disturbance associated with the infilling of the watercourses. Other positive responses are weak and amorphous, and it is possible that they relate to former fluvial features. |
