Abstract: |
Archaeology South East was commissioned by Mott MacDonald to carry out a detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey on land at Former Ford Airfield, Ford in advance of pipeline instatement. The survey covered two hectares and took place on the 23rd and 24th of May 2011. The survey area consisted of arable land under wheat and an area of uncultivated land under rough grass bounded by hedges and fencing for a water treatment works compound. Due to the proximity to several metallic objects in and alongside the survey area such as pipes and fences a significant part of the resultant data consisted of magnetic disturbance. Several linear positive anomalies observed along the pipeline corridor may have an archaeological origin. However, these may also be the result of more recent agricultural activity. Two further areas of magnetic debris and bipolar anomalies may possibly relate to the former airfield. |
