Abstract: |
A geophysical survey, comprising detailed magnetometry, was undertaken by Archaeological Surveys Ltd on land at Somerton at the request of Cotswold Archaeology. The results indicate the presence of a number of rectilinear enclosures separated by a trackway in the northern part of the site, with some evidence for potential structural remains in the north eastern corner. A number of pit-like responses have also been located, and it is possible that there is an association with burials. To the south west is a single ring ditch feature, and although a number of positive linear, discrete and rectilinear anomalies have been located further south, it is not clear if they relate to former cut features or if some relate to soil-filled geological features. The geophysical survey located a number of rectilinear enclosures, possible structural remains and a single ring ditch. |
