Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering 21 hectares of predominantly former peat fen, at Red Brick Farm, Peterborough to provide further information on the archaeological potential of the site prior to the submission of a planning application to develop the site. The proposed development area (PDA) covers 48 hectares the remainder being currently unsuitable for survey. The results are dominated by geological responses caused by the underlying peat and alluvium which covers most of the PDA. It is considered that the type of archaeological features likely to be present in this former wetland landscape combined with the masking effect of the peat preclude the detection of archaeological anomalies on the former peat fen. For this reason it would seem debatable to complete the survey once the remainder of the site is cleared. No anomalies of archaeological potential have been identified on the slightly higher ground on the sand and gravel deposits on the northern edge of the PDA. |
