Abstract:
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of Strutt and Parker LLP in support of a proposed planning application to West Dorset District Council. The application area covers approximately 1ha of rough grassland on the north side of Maiden Newton, on the valley floor adjacent to the River Frome. The magnetic contrast across the area was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Fifteen magnetic anomaly groups were identified as possibly representing archaeological deposits or features. Two groups coincide with the edges of prominent earthworks recorded by AC Archaeology during a site visit completed as part of an Historic Environment Assessment of the application area. A further three groups are likely to be associated with other earthworks recorded during the assessment. These earthworks pre-date the available historical maps (Cottam, 2014). The pattern of these groups and the remaining groups identified as relating to potential archaeological deposits implies either an area of former agricultural activity with the creation of, for example, strip lynchets, tracks and enclosures or an area of former property boundaries and associated enclosures and tracks.
