Abstract: |
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 7.8 ha area of land at High Street Wrestlingworth. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across the site. The geophysical results are characterised by evidence of field systems of a possibly medieval date. Anomalies related to historical agricultural use have been detected and interpreted as ridge and furrow as well as possible boundary walls and ditches and possibly house platforms. Several responses that may be associated with the core of the medieval shrunken village are also present. The impact of modern activity on the results in generally limited and detected as ferro-magnetic spreads and a cricket pitch. |
