Abstract: |
This report was commissioned by AC Archaeology Ltd on behalf of Wessex Water in support of a proposal to construct a new water main linking the Sturminster Marshall Water Treatment Works and Culpeppers Dish Reservoir, Dorset. The survey was undertaken in accordance with the Project Design (Cox 2014) with minor adjustments to the survey corridor. Five locations along the proposed pipeline route were surveyed at Galton Heath, West Almer Farm, Mapperton, Winterborne Tomson, Bloxworth Down and areas south of Lincoln Farm. The magnetic contrast across the survey areas was sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Eighty-five magnetic anomaly groups were identified as pertaining to archaeological deposits or structures. The majority of these are most likely to reflect linear deposits such as field and enclosure boundaries not relating to the current field systems. There are a number of areas of enhanced magnetic response. These areas can relate to archaeological deposits created by craft, industrial and other activities. One ring ditch and part of a known barrow were recorded on Bloxworth Down. One possible ditched track or road was recorded south of Lincoln Farm. |
