Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey on land at Bulls Lodge Quarry, Chelmsford, Essex in advance of the submission of planning proposals to extend the quarry workings. The survey comprised two areas, at Park Farm and Brick Farm, approximately 2.5 km apart, and covered 116 hectares. At the Park Farm site two areas of archaeological potential have been identified. Although no coherent pattern of activity is discerned, due to the weak magnitude and discontinuous nature of the responses, the anomalies are indicative of enclosures, with possible settlement activity. The archaeological activity is fairly extensive at both locations. There are no anomalies of obvious archaeological potential at the Brick Farm site although anomalies locating the site of an early 20th century rifle range have been identified. These features may be of local historical interest. Although the majority of the two survey areas are devoid of archaeological anomalies the low magnetic contrast and weak and discontinuous nature of the archaeological anomalies could mean that any archaeological remains are more extensive than revealed by the geophysical survey. |
