Abstract: |
A second phase of geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering 3.6 hectares, was carried out at selected locations along the proposed connection route for a scheme of pylon replacements across Bramham Moor. In addition magnetometer survey covering 6 hectares was also carried out in several fields north-west of Knaresborough, where pylons are also to be replaced as part of the same scheme. On the Bramham Moor section the survey has identified anomalies which are caused by sub-surface archaeological features (soil filled ditches) which form field boundaries and enclosures of likely late Iron Age/Romano-British date. Some, but not all, of these anomalies have been previously recognised as cropmarks thus confirming the high archaeological potential along this section of the scheme. In the Knaresborough section the archaeological potential is considered to be lower with few anomalies of archaeological potential other than those caused by ridge and furrow ploughing some of which survive as low earthworks. |
