Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 24 hectares was carried out at Loversall Carr, near Doncaster, where it is proposed to create seasonally wet features ('wader scrapes') adjacent to Potteric Carr Nature Reserve. The survey has identified two linear anomalies which are considered likely to be ditches forming part of the pattern of late prehistoric land division in the wider landscape as indicated by cropmarks. However, no anomalies indicative of settlement activity have been recorded and it would seem as if the proposed locations of the 'wader scrapes' successfully avoid areas of higher archaeological potential as indicated by the cropmarks. Elsewhere anomalies indicative of field drains, 19th century boundaries, geological variation and modern activity have been recorded. On the basis of the survey, the archaeological potential of the site is considered to be low but with moderate potential around the identified ditch features. |
