Abstract:
Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Crawley Borough Council to conduct a magnetometer survey on a site totalling approximately c.1 hectare of land at South of Crawley, West Sussex. The work was undertaken on Tuesday 31st March 2015. The site consists of an area of woodland and grassland currently used as a campsite for the Guide Association. Limited evidence for possible cut archaeological features was represented by discrete and linear positive anomalies. These are representative of cut features such as pits and ditches. It is possible that a number of these anomalies may also relate to in filled natural features or more modern activity. Anomalies noted as thermoremnant and areas of magnetic debris may correspond to former industrial activity such as iron working. However, as noted previously, thermoremnant anomalies are permanently magnetic and therefore represented by dipolar anomalies in the same way as ferrous objects. The interpretation of possible industrial activity relies on the proximity of the site to known iron working sites as well as the relative weakness of the anomalies (50-500nT) compared to ferrous material (1000nT or more). Some of the features identified may be the result of more recent agricultural activity, infilling of natural features or combination of these factors.
