Abstract: |
A geophysical survey, comprising detailed magnetometry, was carried out over 14ha of land proposed to be developed as Phase 2 of the Bicester Gateway business park. The results indicate the presence of a number of positive linear, rectilinear and discrete anomalies that may relate to cut features with archaeological potential in the northern and western parts of the site. Elsewhere, clusters of discrete positive responses have also been located, although it is not possible to determine if these relate to modern anthropogenic features, or if they have archaeological potential or whether they relate to possible natural features. Numerous naturally formed pit-like anomalies can be seen in the centre of the site. Ridge and furrow in the north western part of the site has also been identified, with possible land drainage elsewhere and infilling of former meanders in the watercourse adjacent to the eastern edge of the site. |
