Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys over three fields near Ashchurch in north Gloucestershire using a hand-pushed, cart-based system of 5 sensors spaced 0.5m apart. The results have revealed a complex series of linear and rectilinear ditches and enclosures, ring ditches and pits in the north western part of the site showing several phases of development, that relate to a settlement likely to date from the Iron Age and Roman periods. The archaeological features do not appear to extend eastwards and southwards, but these parts of the site do contain a small number of short and weakly positive linear anomalies of uncertain origin. There is evidence for former ridge and furrow, which has truncated many of the archaeological features. Along the southern edge of the site are several anomalies that relate to former channels of the Tirle Brook. |
