Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 24 hectares on land to the north of Armthorpe near Doncaster, South Yorkshire in advance of the possible development of the site. The survey has identified numerous linear anomalies across the whole of the site which are caused by soil filled ditches together forming a series of conjoining enclosures. These enclosures comprise part of a 'brickwork pattern' system of land division which dates to the later prehistoric and/or Romano-British period/s and which extends across much of this part of South Yorkshire and is particularly extensive immediately north of this site. The overall level of background magnetic noise across the site, caused by the presence of superficial sand and gravel deposits, means that it is very difficult to interpret any discrete features which could be indicative of occupation although there is no obvious pattern to indicate widespread settlement activity. Nonetheless, the survey has identified anomalies of clear archaeological potential across the site and therefore, the archaeological potential of the proposed development area is considered to be moderate to high. |
