Abstract:
Detailed magnetometry carried out over 3ha within two fields using hand pushed cart based system with 5 sensors spaced 0.5m apart collecting data at 20Hz. A geophysical survey, comprising detailed magnetometry, was carried out over 3ha at Nyland, near Cheddar in Somerset, at the request of the South West Heritage Trust. The site contains a narrow limestone ridge surrounded by lower ground. The results of the survey indicate the presence of a number of geophysical anomalies on the north eastern side of the limestone ridge that could relate to archaeological features. These include an arc of discrete positive responses and a curvilinear anomaly situated on a narrow plateau towards the summit of the ridge, and a group of positive and negative responses at the base of the slope to the north east, which could be associated with industrial activity. Further north east are a linear group of three pit-like features. In the north western part of the site, positive linear anomalies could relate to cut features associated with the Romano-British settlement identified from previous archaeological investigations within the adjacent farm complex. Other anomalies are weak and poorly defined, but could relate to further cut features.
