Abstract:
Detailed magnetometry was carried out over 3ha ahead of tree planting using a 5 channel, cart-based system The results of the survey indicate the presence of a group of anomalies within the south western corner of the site which correspond to a low, circular mound situated in the field. Although the mound may be suggestive of a Bronze Age round barrow, this type of monument is generally associated with an external ring ditch. The geophysical data do not show a ring ditch, but instead the results indicate a negative zone, with associated discrete negative responses to the south and magnetic enhancement to the west. The negative zone could be consistent with scraping of the soil, subsoil and stone to form a mound, with the discrete negative responses associated with stones, and the magnetic enhancement associated with anthropogenic activity. However, it is not possible to provide a confident interpretation on the geophysical results alone. The survey also located several linear or rectilinear anomalies that may indicate former boundary ditches.
