Abstract: |
Magnetometry survey carried out over 2.24ha using hand-carried GNSS-positioned bespoke fluxgate gradiometer system. Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c.2.24ha
area of land at Darlington Crematorium, Darlington, County Durham. A fluxgate gradiometer survey
was successfully completed across the site. No anomalies suggestive of significant archaeological
features were identified. Anomalies related to historical agricultural use have been detected and
interpreted as former field boundaries. The impact of modern activity on the results consists of ferrous
‘haloes’ caused by proximity to properties bordering the site and magnetic spread due to debris in the
area at the time of survey. A series of pit-like and linear anomalies have been identified to the north-east of the survey area but are of undermined origin. |
