Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd, ahead of a new construction skills centre at the Bath College Somer Valley Campus in Radstock, Bath & North East Somerset. The survey was carried out using a hand-pushed 5 sensor array. The results demonstrate the presence of widespread magnetic debris, indicative of ground make up, and this may have obscured weaker anomalies. A number of positive linear responses have been located within a car park but these cannot be confidently characterised as cut features. A former field boundary is associated with widespread magnetic debris and to the west of this are a number of linear, curvilinear and discrete positive responses. Again, due to the presence of strongly magnetic debris the origin of the anomalies is uncertain. In the western part of the site are a number of positive and negative linear and rectilinear anomalies, and it is possible that these are associated with the use of this part of the site for allotments during the early 20th century. |
