Abstract: |
A magnetometer survey was selected to provide a relatively fast and cost-effective evaluation of any buried archaeology across the Site. The magnetic anomaly groups pertaining to potential buried archaeology were georeferenced to the Ordnance Survey National Grid, mapped, characterised and assigned with an appropriate degree of certainty in conformance with the survey aims and objectives set out in Section 4. The differences in magnetic responses across the Site were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible buried archaeology and background magnetic responses. Fourteen magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential buried archaeology. Of these, three groups coincide with, and likely represent, field boundaries recorded on historic maps with one group possibly representing the enclosure of a strip from an open field system. Two groups may represent ridge-and-furrow ploughing disturbance. The remaining nine groups have characteristics typical of anomalies representing linear archaeological deposits such as fragments of enclosure and/or field boundaries. Four of these may also possibly represent enclosure of open field strips. The western side of the Site has been subjected to the deposition of rubble containing ferrous material. |
