Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by WYG Environment Planning Transport Ltd to undertake an archaeological geophysical (gradiometer) survey to investigate the potential for buried archaeological remains and the location of a culvert on a proposed development area within The Common, Barwell, Leicestershire (centred at SP 4506 9646). A total of 7 hectares were surveyed and the results of the survey have identified a number of anomalies. The results of the survey identified no definitive archaeological anomalies within the survey area. A number of discrete curvilinear trends have been identified in the data in the north of the site which could be archaeological in origin. Several responses of an unclear origin were also identified. A number of agricultural anomalies have been observed in the data including a former field boundary, as well as more modern ploughing trends. Three linear anomalies that could represent possible modern services were recorded within the data, one of which falls along the line of the proposed culvert. Areas of magnetic disturbance, most likely the result of modern fencing are located around the survey boundaries within the majority of the fields surveyed. Throughout the survey area isolated dipolar or ferrous (iron spikes) anomalies were also recorded; these are most likely the result of manuring and modern detritus. |
