Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd, at the request of Archaeology Warwickshire, over land to the east of Eastboro Way to the east of Nuneaton in north Warwickshire. The survey located a number of positive linear, rectilinear and discrete anomalies within the southern part of the site (Area 2). These have a moderately strong response compared with all the other anomalies within the site; however, they have an irregular appearance. It is, therefore, not possible to determine if they relate to naturally formed features or linear and rectilinear ditches and pits with an archaeological origin. Evidence for agricultural activity, land drainage, former field boundaries and buried services can be seen within the northern and western parts of the site (Area 1). Along the eastern side (Area 3) there is widespread magnetic debris with a small number of pit-like responses. The north eastern part of the site (Area 4) is bounded by the River Anker and contains evidence of former fluvial features as well as a number of positive linear anomalies, that although have an uncertain origin, may relate to agricultural activity or land drainage. |
