Abstract:
Throughout the geophysical survey anomalies of possible archaeological origin are characterised by linear and discrete positive anomalies indicating cut features such as pits and ditches. These anomalies are generally sparse and often coincide with former enclosure boundaries. However, more significant indicators of archaeological features are noted at several locations. A probable former building is suggested in Area C adjacent to the earthwork known as 'The Castle' and may be medieval or early post medieval in date. Areas of magnetic debris in the north west of Area D correspond to the location of Bushlags observed on the 1875 25-inch Ordnance Survey map and later known as Bush Cottage. Also noted in Area D are possible channels and river terrace gravels. A number of these anomalies appear to represent the pre-canalised route of Channells Brook and possible archaeological activity is noted within the largest of these meanders. Prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval material was recovered in varying quantities from the four areas during the surface artefacts collection. Fieldwalking Areas A and D were smaller than those available for the magnetometry survey. There were no clear concentrations of prehistoric or medieval material, and a thin scatter of ironworking slag could contain bloomery waste varying in date from the Iron Age to the end of the medieval period. Similarly there was a thin spread of post-medieval blast furnace slag, but the majority of material from that period consisted of ceramic building material (CBM) and pottery, most (if not all) the result of manuring/nightsoiling.
