Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, was undertaken on approximately 74 hectares of land located to the west of Colworth Science Park, Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire. A number of archaeological responses have been detected in the northwest and southern sections of the survey area consisting of anomalies associated with a previously identified Romano British villa site, rectilinear enclosures, ring ditches and linear ditches. Responses that have been interpreted as possible archaeology have also been detected. Agricultural trends can be seen throughout the survey area in the form of ploughing and field drains and old field boundaries have also been located. Therefore, based on the results and interpretation of the data, the archaeological potential of the northwest and southern sections of the survey area is deemed to be high in these well-defined areas, but low to moderate across the remainder of the survey area. |
