Abstract: |
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c.5.94ha area of land at Dibden Lane, Alderton, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. A fluxgate magnetometer survey was successfully completed and no anomalies of a possible or probable archaeological origin have been identified. The geophysical results primarily reflect historic agricultural practice. At least three different groups of ridge and furrow cultivation have been identified across the site; the orientation of these regimes appear to conform to changes in direction of slope across the site. Intermittent weaker responses located in-between the furrows have also been identified and may indicate different phases of ploughing. There was no extant evidence for this ploughing at the time of survey. Other magnetic anomalies are likely to reflect more recent agricultural practice, natural background variation, and minor ferrous disturbances. |
