Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over pasture fields to the south of St. John's Road, east of the M27, approximately 1km southwest of Hedge End and 6km east of Southampton, Hampshire. The project was commissioned by the Highwood Group Limited and the survey follows a Heritage Statement prepared by Wessex Archaeology earlier in 2013. A cluster of linear anomalies and pit-like responses can be seen towards the southwestern extent of the Site, falling into three apparent groups. Several linear anomalies at the west are oriented parallel with nearby boundaries and it is possible that they form part of a former field system; close by to the north, further linear anomalies and trends aligned NW-SE are more typical of former fields and ploughing, and a cluster of anomalies near the eastern extent of this field are consistent with the remnants of former buildings. The Heritage Statement identified a possible Roman road crossing the southwestern portion of the Site and several of these anomalies lie on a similar orientation; however, it is not possible to determine the origin of these anomalies with any certainty. In the central field, a possible former field boundary has been identified. Elsewhere, numerous small scale ferrous responses can be seen, which are presumed to be modern in origin, with magnetic disturbance associated with field boundaries and modern structures. Increased magnetic responses in the easternmost survey area may be associated with a 19th century brickworks identified in the Heritage Statement. |
