Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 12.5 hectares was carried out on land south of West Moor Park Industrial Estate, to inform planning proposals for the development of the site. Previous archaeological investigations, undertaken in advance of the development of the industrial estate, revealed features indicative of extensive Late Iron Age industrial and agricultural activity. Ditch features forming part of this landscape appear to extend into the current site. No anomalies of definite archaeological potential have been identified by the survey although faint linear trends to the north-west of the site are on a similar alignment to the Late Iron Age features and therefore may indicate the continuation of the field system; similar weak and fragmentary anomalies were identified by a previous survey carried out to the south of (and partially overlapping) the site. These anomalies are limited to an area of sands and gravels. No anomalies of archaeological potential are recorded on the clay and silt superficial deposits that prevail in the southern and central parts of the site. On the basis of the magnetic survey the archaeological potential of the site is considered to be low, with a moderate potential ascribed to the north-west of the site, although the presence of further, unrecorded features, to the south of the site cannot be discounted. |
