Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd, on behalf of Cotswold Archaeology Ltd, within two land parcels to the south of Filton Road and west of the M32 in Winterbourne, South Gloucestershire. The site is due to be developed into sports pitches by the University of the West of England and the survey was carried out as part of an archaeological investigation prior to development. The results indicate the presence of a number of positive linear, rectilinear, discrete and amorphous anomalies with archaeological potential in the northern part of the site (Area 2). Further positive linear and discrete anomalies have also been located and while they may relate to further cut features, they are weak and indistinct, preventing confident interpretation. A series of negative rectilinear anomalies have also been located within this part of the site; however, it is not possible to determine if they relate to further archaeological features, or if they relate to more recent land division, agricultural activity or land drainage. Within the southern part of the site (Area 1) there are a number of positive linear and discrete anomalies with uncertain origin, including two broad linear bands of positive and negative responses, one of which extends north westwards into Area 2. However, it is not possible to determine if they relate to former boundary features or lynchets, or if they are natural features. The majority of the anomalies within Area 1 relate to formerly mapped land boundaries, land drainage and agricultural activity. |
