Abstract: |
Detailed magnetic gradiometer survey was undertaken on land south of Buntings Lane, Stanground, Peterborough, in advance of proposed residential development of the area. Four adjacent blocks of land were surveyed which encompassed an area of c. 1.27ha. Magnetometer survey identified three east-west oriented, parallel linear positive anomalies occurring equidistantly from each other. These probably represent cut features in the form of ditches and possibly relate to demarcation of the land during its former use as an allotment garden. A possible curvilinear negative anomaly was identified in Area 1 and may represent a cut feature, however based on form and the variability of response, the interpretation of this anomaly remains uncertain. Magnetic disturbance is present around the eastern and western edges of Area 1 and in the northern part of Area 4. The disturbance at the western edge of Area 1 relates to recent ground disturbance, while fencing was responsible for the readings at the eastern edge. The disturbance in Area 4 was cause by a metal shed and various bits of metal equipment and machinery being stored in this part of the survey site. However, with the exception of occasional metal items in the topsoil there is little indication of modern disturbance across the field as a whole. |
