Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Woodsetts, South Yorkshire (centred on NGR 454631 383811). The project was commissioned on behalf of INEOS Shale with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in support of a planning application for the development of a prospection site for shale gas extraction. The site comprises an irregularly shaped survey area within a single arable field to the south of Dinnington Road, Woodsetts, South Yorkshire. The site covers 11.5 ha and the survey was undertaken between 2nd October 2017 and 5th October 2017. The detailed gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of anomalies of archaeological origin. These are predominantly located to the west and of the survey area, consisting of sizable linear and curvilinear anomalies as well as a network of interconnected rectilinear anomalies indicative of former land divisions and enclosures. Additionally, this archaeological investigation has detected anomalies consistent with the historical pattern of land division as well as agricultural activity, with former field boundaries and possible ridge and furrow prevalent across the survey area. Areas of increased magnetic response and further evidence of localised superficial geological variation are also noted, as well as the presence of field drains and a modern service. |
