Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of clients. The application area covers approximately 11ha of agricultural land on the southern side of Blandford St Mary. The magnetic contrast across the area was relatively low but sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Given the low magnetic response, it is possible that there are more archaeological features present than were recorded in the dataset. Sixteen magnetic anomaly groups were identified as possibly representing archaeological deposits or features. One group is likely to represent the northern side of a former field lane mapped by the Ordnance Survey between 1888 and 1962. The remaining magnetic anomaly groups identified as pertaining to possible archaeological deposits or features are typical of anomalies representing former field boundaries, enclosures or agricultural features such as strip lynchets of unknown dates. |
