Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd on land surrounding Elm Grove Farm within the parishes of North Bradley and Trowbridge in Wiltshire. The survey was conducted within five fields, the majority showing evidence for agricultural activity and land drainage. A number of positive linear and discrete responses were located within most survey areas, but the general lack of a coherent morphology prevents confident interpretation. A group of discrete positive responses arranged in a grid formation, with a second group in an irregular ring in the eastern part of the site, may relate to former tree planting, although none is indicated on any previous mapping. In the northern part of the site there is evidence for former structural remains associated with a farmstead indicated on early 19th century mapping, but demolished by 1887. There is potential for this to at least date to the earliest years of the 19th century and an earlier date should be considered. |
