Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 34 hectares on land to the north of Bingham, to provide information about the archaeological potential of the site in advance of proposed development. The survey has identified a section of probable settlement bordering Fosse Road, immediately north-east of Fosse Way Farm. At least 16 small rectangular enclosures have been identified on the southern side of the road, within which are numerous discrete anomalies which may be due to pits, post holes and spreads of archaeological material. A linear ditch type anomaly to the south of the settlement could indicate the remnants of a field system associated with the settlement. A cluster of anomalies located on the margins of the Bingham Basin, a former lake and marshland, may also be of archaeological potential. Throughout the survey area anomalies which reflect the post-medieval agricultural landscape are identified including ridge and furrow cultivation, back-filled ponds and former field boundaries. The presence of superficial deposits may have led to reduced magnetic contrast in parts of the site which could have limited the identification of particularly low magnitude, ephemeral or discontinuous features. However, but it is not considered likely that any further significant archaeological activity would not have been detected under these conditions. Based on the results and interpretation of the data, the archaeological potential of the site is considered to be very high to the north-west of Fosse Road Farm bordering the road, and moderate to low elsewhere. |
