| Abstract: |
AD Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to carry out a geophysical survey (magnetometry) in advance of a proposed residential development on land at Quarry Farm, Hartlepool, Cleveland. Overall no clear archaeological site could be identified from the results of the geophysical survey or from the earlier archaeological assessment of the site. The geophysical survey detected a small number of positive anomalies of uncertain origin in Fields 1 and 2 that did not follow the orientations of the numerous anomalies clearly associated with various ploughing regimes over many years. Although these fragmentary anomalies are of potential archaeological interest, an agricultural or relatively recent origin is still the most likely origin for them. The geophysical survey detected numerous linear magnetic anomalies associated with former field systems of ridge and furrow throughout the site. The results of the survey corresponded with many of the earlier field systems now no longer extant that were depicted on the earlier township plan and tithe map of 1839/40 and the Ordnance Survey first edition map of 1857. The best example of this was in the southern portion of Field 3 where a well-defined ridge and furrow system (anomaly 7, Fig 18) was detected possibly in association with a boundary ditch (anomaly 8) of field depicted on the early mapping. |
