Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of a 90 hectare site in Little Singleton, Lancashire to provide further information on the archaeological potential along the proposed route of the A585 Improvement Scheme. This interim report presents the results of the A585 survey undertaken to date, an area of 49 hectares. No anomalies of definite or possible archaeological potential have been identified by the survey. The survey has mainly identified anomalies consistent with the agricultural landscape such as former boundaries, field drains and ploughing, as well as areas of magnetic disturbance that correspond with the locations of former ponds identified on historical maps. On the basis of the geophysical survey undertaken to date, the archaeological potential along the route is assessed as low although the spreading of 'green waste' in some areas has the potential to 'mask' archaeological anomalies, if present. Survey of the remaining fields may provide additional information on the overall archaeological potential along the route. All of the data will be re-evaluated upon completion of the survey. |
