Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry carried out over 9ha on the eastern edge of Crewkerne using hand pushed cart based system with 5 sensors. A geophysical survey comprising detailed magnetometry was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd over 9ha on the eastern edge of Crewkerne. The results indicate the presence of three ring ditch features, former land boundaries and a possible trackway. The parallel linear anomalies appear to relate to an early field system, but they are also parallel with former ridge and furrow in the southern part of the site and an association is possible. A zone of magnetic debris is associated with a number of positive linear and rectilinear responses, which could be associated with a demolished building or industrial activity. Within an area to the north east, the majority of the anomalies are associated with land drainage and agricultural activity; however, there are some fragmented linear anomalies and a positive curvilinear and a patch of magnetic enhancement that appear to be associated with two low mounds. The entire western land parcel contains magnetic debris and has been subject to ground make-up and dumping. |
