Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of a 47 hectare site off Haine Road, Thanet, Kent, as part of a baseline assessment of the heritage potential of the site. This information will help guide archaeological strategy in advance of a proposed mixed-use development. The survey has identified three distinct areas of clear archaeological activity including eight enclosures, three trackways and up to three ring-ditches, probably barrows. These areas are assessed as of high archaeological potential. The results of the survey confirm and enhance the archaeological potential of the site as recorded on the Kent Historic Environment Record (HER). A clear correlation has been demonstrated between the archaeological anomalies and the underlying geological conditions with no archaeological anomalies being identified over the Head superficial deposits. It is possible that there is insufficient magnetic contrast in these deposits, or that they are too deep, for soil-filled features to manifest as magnetic anomalies in the data. For this reason, the archaeological potential of the site may be greater than suggested by the survey. |
