Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of a 30 hectare site, east of the existing Whittington Heath Golf Course, Staffordshire, to inform future archaeological strategy in advance of the proposed reconfiguration and extension of the golf course. No anomalies of definite archaeological potential have been identified by the survey with the majority of the anomalies being due to localised variations in the depth and composition of the topsoil. A fragmented linear anomaly within the centre of the site is thought to be due to a soil-filled ditch and may be of archaeological potential, although an agricultural origin is preferred. A former pattern of field division within the site, which is depicted on early Ordnance Survey maps, has not been detected by the survey, probably as a result of subsequent agricultural erosion of the former boundaries. On the basis of the geophysical survey the archaeological potential of the site is assessed as very low. |
