Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 16 hectares on land north-east of Harlow, Essex, to provide information on the archaeological potential of the site of a new motorway junction and associated link road. The survey has identified a probable barrow along the route of the proposed link road along with linear anomalies (ditches) which may form part of an early field system. Elsewhere, anomalies have been identified which reflect the historical layout and division of the agricultural landscape as recorded on early Ordnance Survey maps. Therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential across the majority of the site is assessed as being low although a high archaeological potential is ascribed to the area around the probable barrow. |
