Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Gregory Gray Associates on behalf of Qualitas Consultants UK Ltd to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey of land close to Cottage Lane, near Stratford-upon-Avon (centred on NGR 418115, 254800). The aim of the work was to establish the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site as part of a programme of archaeological works ahead of a proposed development. The survey was undertaken on 14th March 2014 and the site is located approximately 1.9km west of the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon. The site comprises two pasture fields located on the west side of the village of Shottery. Detailed gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible parts of the site, a total of 0.92ha, and has demonstrated the presence of a few anomalies of probable and possible archaeological significance along with regions of increased magnetic response and at least one modern service. Most of the anomalies detected relate to agricultural and modern features. The two most significant archaeological features are two pit-like anomalies and some possible ridge and furrow. A band of magnetic disturbance across the centre of the site is consistent with a former track, although it is possible that it is modern in origin and relates to agricultural activity. |
