Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of land west of Ashbourne Road, Cheadle, where a new residential development is proposed. No anomalies of any archaeological potential have been identified by the survey. The survey has identified linear anomalies consistent with agricultural activity, discrete anomalies consistent with variation in the composition of the soils and a broad area of magnetic disturbance typical of modern tipping/infilling. This area of magnetic disturbance could be related to the infilling of shallow coal mining activity and would perhaps corroborate the results from the boreholes and trial pits in the same area. However, no anomalies could be confidently identified as providing direct evidence of coal mining. On the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential of the proposed development area is assessed as low. |
