Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys on land adjacent to Minety Substation near Minety in Wiltshire. The work was carried out prior to an application for development of a solar farm over the 100ha site. The results indicate a number of anomalies associated with a formerly mapped outfarm known as Woburn in the northern part of the site. Two possible positive curvilinear anomalies have been located along with a number of positive and negative linear and rectilinear/curvilinear anomalies within the western part of the site, but although it is possible that they are of some archaeological potential, the anomalies are not well defined and generally lack a coherent morphology. Many of the areas contain widespread magnetically variable responses to unmapped Quaternary drift deposits. Evidence for agricultural activity and land improvement were also located including land drainage and also patches of possible burning that could relate to the clearance of trees. |
