Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 36.39 hectares, was carried out on agricultural land north of Kingsdown Lane, Swindon prior to the proposed development of the site. Anomalies consistent with former agricultural practice and underlying geological variation have been identified largely to the north of the site. In fields to the south, magnetically enhanced responses, indicative of an enclosure, possibly Iron Age or Romano-British in date has been identified. Overall the archaeological potential of this site is deemed to be low in the north, and medium to the south, with the area around the enclosure deemed to be high. |
