Abstract: |
A magnetic survey was commissioned by CgMs Limited (Part of the RPS Group) to prospect land at Aldham Mill Hill, Hadleigh, Suffolk, for buried structures of archaeological interest. Survey was undertaken using an ATV-towed and GNSS-tracked non-gradiometric array of caesium vapour magnetometers on a non-magnetic platform. Two clear and large likely Bronze Age funerary monuments with multiple encircling ditches and internal features are present in the southern part of the site and were expected from cropmark evidence and other examples found just beyond the survey. A third Bronze Age funerary monument, also expected from cropmark evidence, is less obvious and a smaller cropmark, to the north, has not been detected. North of these funerary monuments a large Roman era enclosure has been found and is likely to have included a contemporary farming settlement although this has not been seen in the data. There is possible, although ambiguous, evidence for Iron Age or later funerary activity, including a small square enclosure. A number of linear ditch fills and a possible track or similar structure might indicate the former presence of former field systems lost prior to the 1880s Ordnance Survey mapping. |
