Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 90 hectares in total, was carried out on agricultural land to the east of the city of Leeds; north of Whinmoor and east of Scholes, West Yorkshire. Archaeological anomalies which correspond to cropmarks have been identified indicating enclosures, field systems and a trackway. Responses associated with post medieval quarrying have also been identified. Numerous further anomalies which are likely to be of archaeological interest have been detected throughout. Former field boundaries have been identified throughout the site that correlate to old mapping. Anomalies indicative of the underlying geology, field drains, service pipes and modern disturbance have also been detected. The archaeological potential of the survey area, is deemed medium to high in fields south of the A64 and low elsewhere. |
