Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of a 9 hectare site at Waltham on the Wolds to inform planning proposals for a proposed residential development at Land east of Melton Road. The survey has successfully evaluated the site identifying a single anomaly of probable archaeological origin - a rectilinear anomaly interpreted as forming the south-western corner of an enclosure of unknown date located in the west of the proposed development area (PDA). A curvilinear anomaly to the east of the PDA may also be of archaeological potential. Anomalies indicative of ridge and furrow cultivation are noted throughout the western half of the PDA but these low earthworks are assessed as of local historical interest only. No anomalies of likely archaeological potential have been identified across the majority of the site and therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential is assessed as low and moderate around the probable enclosure, broadly corroborating the conclusions of an earlier heritage assessment. |
