Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd over 10ha at Baldwin's Gate Farm, Whitmore, Staffordshire. The survey was requested by Richborough Estates Ltd and carried out in accordance with a brief issued by the county Principal Archaeologist. The western part of the site, Area 1, contains an elongated mound, broader at its northern end and rising to 3m in height. The results show positive responses at the summit of this mound and extending along the north eastern side of the mound. Another broad, weak linear response extends for 145m from the mound towards the south eastern corner of the field. Other positive and negative responses can also be seen in the vicinity of the mound, including two series of pit-like anomalies, one close to the crest of the mound and one further to the north. Within the eastern part of the site, Area 2 contains what appears to be three sides of a rectilinear feature, possibly surrounding natural responses. The rectilinear anomaly has eastern and western sides that are parallel with existing and former land boundaries, and association is possible. Two formerly mapped field boundaries have also been located. Widespread magnetic debris, presumably introduced through manuring, and a number of land drains have also been located. |
