Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of a 68 hectare site, north-east of Burton upon Trent, to inform planning proposals for a proposed residential development. The survey has successfully evaluated the site identifying anomalies consistent with the post-medieval and modern agricultural landscape including backfilled marl pits, ponds, agricultural buildings/barns, former field boundaries and isolated areas of ridge and furrow cultivation. No anomalies of clear archaeological potential have been identified in any part of the site, and only a vague curving anomaly of uncertain origin has been identified 40m from an undated cropmark enclosure which is recorded on the Staffordshire HER. Therefore, on the basis of the magnetic survey the site is assessed as of low archaeological potential, corroborating the results of the Desk-Based Assessment. |
