Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd, undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering an area of approximately 2.7 hectares, on land north of Brampton Park Golf Club, Brampton, Huntingdonshire, in advance of the submission of a planning application for a residential development. The survey has identified linear anomalies which are consistent with former agricultural land-use (ploughing and drainage) and modern activity (pipes). One rectilinear anomaly is possibly indicative of a burnt feature, possibly a brick clamp or a kiln; several Roman pottery kilns have been identified recently less than 0.5km west of the site. A cluster of discrete magnetic anomalies in the centre of the site have also been interpreted as possibly archaeological as has a slightly curving linear anomaly which is on a slightly different alignment to the ploughing trends and former field boundary. It should be noted, however, that all of the anomalies interpreted as possibly archaeological could also be of relatively modern origin. Therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the proposed development area is assessed as having a low archaeological potential corroborating the conclusions of an earlier desk based assessment. |
