Abstract: |
A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 10.5 hectares, across three fields, was undertaken on land to the north of Melton Road, Queniborough, Leicestershire. This was part of a programme of archaeological works in advance of a proposed development. Magnetometry has detected known archaeology through the middle of the survey area, with trackways, circular features and an enclosure in evidence. Anomalies of a possible archaeological origin have also been detected. Geological and agricultural anomalies have been identified, as have ferrous and magnetic disturbance responses, across the site. Overall the archaeological potential of the site is deemed to be low to moderate in the west, rising from moderate to high in the east. |
