Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd, undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 9 hectares, to inform planning proposals for a proposed residential development at Beccles, Suffolk. No archaeological activity is known within the proposed development area or the immediate surrounding area. The survey has not identified any anomalies of definite archaeological potential although two anomalies of uncertain origin have been identified and an archaeological origin for these anomalies cannot be discounted. Elsewhere anomalies have been identified which reflect the recent agricultural use of the site (as depicted on historical cartographic sources) and are interpreted as being caused by former boundaries, farm tracks, a demolished building, backfilled pond and possible localised mineral extraction. Therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential of the proposed development area is assessed as low corroborating the results of an earlier desk-based assessment. |
