Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 4.6 hectares, was undertaken on land to the south of Wakefield Eastern Relief Road, approximately 3km northeast of Wakefield city centre, West Yorkshire. This was part of a programme of archaeological works in advance of a proposed development. The magnetic survey has detected anomalies of an archaeological origin consisting of linear ditches, enclosures; including a 'D' shaped enclosure, pits and also responses which may be associated with the site of St Swithin's Chantry. Probable archaeological remains have also been recorded throughout. Agricultural and ferrous responses have been recorded throughout the site and are not thought to be of archaeological interest. Overall the archaeological potential of the site is high. |
