Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 13 hectares at Holmgate, Chesterfield, where a new residential development is proposed. The survey has identified a cluster of four ring-ditches in the north-east of the site which are thought to probably locate round barrows. Three of the ring-ditches are particularly notable for their conjoined and symmetrical appearance whereas the fourth is less regular and is notable for containing extremely high magnitude anomalies, possibly locating areas of burning. These anomalies are considered to be of likely high archaeological potential. Elsewhere, isolated high magnitude pit-type anomalies may be archaeological in origin although a geological cause is also plausible. These anomalies are ascribed a moderate archaeological potential. However, with the exception of the ring-ditches, the majority of the site is assessed as having a low to moderate archaeological potential - the anomalies identified mostly being due to geological variation, cultivation and drainage. |
