Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical survey (magnetometer and earth resistance) of a Roman pottery production site (Scheduled Monument LE 1004706) within the estate grounds of Tottenham House, Wiltshire. The survey has identified several distinct clusters of high magnitude anomalies which are suggestive of industrial activity, including nine extremely high magnitude anomalies which are interpreted as possible kilns. No anomalies of clear archaeological potential have been identified to confirm the presence of a Roman building/tessellated floor which is recorded in the north of the Scheduled area on the Wiltshire Historic Environment Record, although linear and rectilinear anomalies have been identified extending beyond the northern limit of the survey which may be archaeological in origin. Low magnitude parallel linear anomalies have been identified corresponding to broad bands of low resistance, accurately locating the surface of two post-medieval formal parkland drives which pass through the Monument. |
