Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 8 hectares, at Loversall Carr, near Rossington, in order to provide further information on the archaeological potential of the geophysical survey area prior to finalising the route of a 33KV cable which will connect Rossington Inland Port with the National Grid. The survey has corroborated and enhanced the cropmark data confirming the location and extent of a large sub-rectangular double-ditched enclosure with smaller attached enclosures to the south-eastern side. Circular anomalies within the enclosure are interpreted as ring ditches indicative of round-houses. Discrete anomalies are also suggestive of settlement activity. A previous geophysical survey of land immediately north of the current area (across which the cable route is also proposed to pass) did not identify any anomalies of archaeological potential. The proposed cable route only impacts on the known archaeological resource (as indicated by the cropmark and survey data) at a single location on the eastern site boundary where it crosses an outlying ditch feature. Therefore, on the available evidence, the impact of the proposed cable route on the archaeological resource is assessed as very low. |
