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 as well as the location of a culvert on a site off Cannock road, Stafford, Staffordshire (centred at SJ 9491 2016). A total of 2 hectares were surveyed and the results have identified a number of anomalies. The survey identified no definitive archaeological anomalies within the survey area. A number of tentative discrete linear, curvilinear trends, possibly of an archaeological origin have been located within the data. A number of agricultural anomalies have been observed in the data including ridge and furrow ploughing. Several modern services were recorded which are most likely to be culverts or pipes. One of these falls along the line of the projected line of a culvert which was hoped to be located as part of the survey. An area of magnetic disturbance, most likely the result of modern material was also recorded, at the edge of the field and survey area in the north. 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. |
