Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd, undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 52 hectares, on Halton Marshes, North Lincolnshire, to inform archaeological mitigation works in advance of the consented creation of a wetland habitat which will offset land to be developed as part of the Able Marine Energy Park. The data is dominated by responses and anomalies indicative of coastal features which prevailed on this former marginal estuarine environment prior to reclamation. Two sinuous anomalies and broad areas of high magnetic response locate palaeochannels along the western boundary of the survey area. Linear trends in the data, parallel with the current shore, probably locate former beach lines or bars. No anomalies of obvious archaeological potential have been identified by the survey; any settlement activity is likely to be on slightly higher islands a little further inland. Therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential of the application area is assessed as very low. However, the palaeochannels may have some geo-archaeological potential as previously reported. |
