Abstract: |
A geophysical (cart-based magnetometer) survey was undertaken on approximately 134 hectares of land located to the south of Bottesford, Leicestershire. Anomalies of a possible archaeological origin have been detected including a ring ditch, sub-rectangular enclosures, linear features and pit-like responses. Medieval ridge and furrow cultivation have also been detected along with former field boundaries and modern ploughing. Geological responses can be seen throughout whilst ferrous responses are associated with modern debris, pylons and overhead power cables. Based on the geophysical survey and interpretation of the results the archaeological potential of the site is medium to high in the northwest and low elsewhere. |
