Abstract: |
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 20ha area of land at Little Linford Lane, Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed and has detected numerous anomalies of probable and possible archaeological origins. An area of potential multi-phase settlement activity has been identified towards the centre of a site, which expands on the detail of the sub-rectangular cropmarks previously identified in aerial photographs. To the south, a penannular feature, also previously identified as a cropmark, and a large rectangular enclosure have been detected as well. At the northern end, the survey area clips apparent rectilinear enclosures and ditches, which may reflect a continuation of settlement area previously identified through excavations to the east of the M1. In addition to these archaeological features, ridge and furrow ploughing is evident across the site, as well as the remnants of former field boundaries and a field barn. Potential quarrying activity has been identified as well, with discrete areas of mottled variations likely reflecting gravel extraction. The impact of modern activity is generally minimally. |
