Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry was carried out within two areas at the Barbury Castle Estate within the parish of Ogbourne St Andrew in Wiltshire. The survey was carried out ahead of tree planting. The results indicate the presence of a positive linear and discrete positive responses within Area 1, situated in a dry valley at Dean Bottom. The survey area lies between two Bronze Age field systems and 200m north of a Bronze Age settlement enclosure and while the anomalies revealed in the survey could relate to ditch-like and pit-like features with an anthropogenic or archaeological origin, a response to natural variations and build-up of soils within the valley base is also possible. Area 2 is located approximately 1km to the north east, near Barbury Castle Farm, and the results indicate the presence of a former boundary ditch that could be a continuation of extant lynchets seen within the field immediately to the north west. A second linear anomaly to the south of it may also have a similar origin. |
