Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd has undertaken a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 126 hectares, along the proposed route of the Southampton to London Pipeline. This study informs the cultural heritage inputs for the Environmental Statement, prior to the installation of the replacement pipeline (the project). The survey has evaluated 102 Geophysical Survey Areas, identifying two distinct areas of clear archaeological activity comprising a ring-ditch and a sub-rectangular enclosure. These areas are assessed as having high archaeological potential. Anomalies at several other locations have been interpreted as having possible archaeological potential, including possible infilled pits and ditches. However, the narrow survey corridor, fragmentary nature of the anomalies, magnetic interference from the existing pipeline and/or an absence of supporting archaeological information (cropmarks or HER data) precludes a confident interpretation. These anomalies are ascribed a moderate archaeological potential. Anomalies due to geological and pedological variation are common throughout all survey areas and linear trend anomalies due to post-medieval agricultural activity (boundary removal, field drains or ploughing) are also recorded in virtually all parts of the corridor. |
