Abstract: |
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 11.3ha area of land at Cooks Lane, Southbourne, West Sussex. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across the survey area. The survey has identified two large circular ditched enclosures, likely to be prehistoric, located either side of a pair of parallel ditches, which may form a very wide trackway, or some form of rectilinear monument. The survey also identified sub-rectangular enclosures and linear anomalies which may relate to early field boundaries or later unmapped ones. A roughly oblong patch of noisy anomalies straddling the ditches immediately adjacent to one of the circular features may be a result of extraction but may equally have archaeological origins. Anomalies related to agricultural use have been detected and interpreted as field boundaries, trackways and ploughing regimes. The impact of modern activity on the results is limited to magnetic disturbance from fences at field edges and extant agricultural trackways. |
