Abstract: |
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c.35.5ha area of land at Thorpe Bank Solar Farm, Thorpe Thewles, Teesside (NZ394242). A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across the majority of the survey area with c.0.3ha not surveyed due to the presence of a mature bean crop. The geophysical survey has primarily detected anomalies relating to historic agricultural activity, characterised by former field boundaries, a footpath, and ridge and furrow ploughing regimes of multiple orientations. No anomalies suggestive of significant archaeological features were identified. Natural variations in the deposition of superficial material have also been identified. The impact of modern activity on the results is limited to the edges of the survey area. Some anomalies of undetermined anomalies have been detected, though an agricultural or natural origin is likely but not certain. |
