Abstract: |
A fluxgate magnetometer survey was carried out in the environs of a scheduled Roman villa site at Yewden Lodge, Buckinghamshire, with the aim of training a volunteer-based group from Chiltern Archaeology to employ the technique further to inform their future research on the Romano-British settlement pattern in the Hambleden Valley. The magnetometer survey was targeted over a pasture field (Horseleys) where outlying elements of the previously excavated Yewden villa complex in the form of enclosures, trackways and a possible Romano-British shrine are visible on aerial photographs and in previous earth resistance results. The magnetometer survey confirmed the presence of ditched enclosures in the south-west area of Horseleys Field, one of which contains internal positive anomalies possibly indicative of large pits, quarries or industrial features. A multiple ditched square enclosure to the north, interpreted as a shrine feature from the earlier earth resistance survey and aerial photography, was only marginally resolved as a loose cluster of indistinct positive magnetic anomalies. |
