Abstract: |
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 1ha area of land immediately southeast of Watercrook Roman Fort. A fluxgate magnetometer survey was successfully completed, identifying anomalies indicative of regularly aligned wall footings, ditches, pits and industrial activity associated with the vicus of the Roman fort across the northern area of the site. Further possible archaeology which may also relate to this vicus was identified in the central survey area, though alternatively it may relate to activity associated with a 19th century orchid recorded at this location. Modern activity including a service and footpath was also identified in the southmost area of the site. |
