Abstract: |
To further understand and record archaeological features in Levens Park, Levens, Cumbria, LLHG carried out a survey in April 2016 identifying fifteen putative archaeological features not previously recorded on the Cumbria Historic Environment Record (HER) formerly known as the Sites and Monument Record (SMR). There has been some considerable confusion regarding the exact position of sites listed on the SMR/HER and LLHG commissioned Oxford Archaeology North (OA North) to carry out a programme of magnetic geophysical survey on an area including sites SMR 5238, SMR 5240 and SMR 2645, which was undertaken out on 31st October 2016. One of the aims of the survey was to try to narrow down the locations of these sites. At the same time, LAS undertook the electrical resistance survey. OA North was commissioned to prepare the report of both geophysical survey techniques. The geophysical surveys were undertaken by OA North and LAS assisted by volunteers from LLHG. The magnetometer survey covered an area totalling 1.89 ha, approximately half of which was surveyed with electrical resistance. The results of the geophysical survey confirmed the presence and locations of features probably attributable to sites identified on the HER/SMR and the locations of earthworks surveyed by LLHG. |
