Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd, undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 3.5 hectares, on land at Fleet Farm, Twyning Green, Gloucestershire, in advance of the submission of a planning application for a residential development. The survey has identified anomalies which are consistent with former agricultural land-use including ridge and furrow cultivation, land drainage and probable dumping/infilling of magnetically enhanced material to the east of Fleet Farm. Three linear anomalies (probable ditches), to the west of the farm, have been ascribed a possible archaeological origin as they cannot definitely be interpreted as agricultural or modern in origin, although a modern cause is thought most likely. Therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the majority of the site is assessed as having a low archaeological potential, corroborating the results of the Desk-Based assessment. The area between Fleet Farm and the River Avon is dominated by magnetic disturbance and therefore the archaeological potential here remains unknown, but given the absence of archaeological anomalies locally, the potential here is also likely to be low. |
