Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land east of Marr roundabout, A1(M) Junction 37, to the west of Doncaster, South Yorkshire (centred on NGR 452800, 405500). The project was commissioned by ARUP with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in support of a planning application for the development of the site. The site comprises two arable fields located to the east of the A1(M) Doncaster Bypass, covering an area of 12.4 ha. The geophysical survey was undertaken between the 22nd and 25th February 2016. The detailed gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of anomalies of potential archaeological interest, agricultural features and spreads of increased magnetic response. The anomalies identified as being of archaeological interest are primarily ditch-like features. The most complex area of potential archaeology is located in the extreme west of the survey area, where a complex of linear features have been identified. These are of an unknown origin and date and may represent enclosures and/or former field systems. Features identified in the eastern field are largely areas of increased magnetic response which relate to the former gypsum quarry and agricultural features. In additional, this geophysical investigation has detected further areas of increased magnetic response, localised geological variations, substantial evidence for historic cultivation and a modern service. |
