Abstract: |
Magnetometer survey carried out over c. 1ha using a hand-carried GNSS-positioned bespoke fluxgate gradiometer system. Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the sub-surface archaeological potential of c. 1ha area of land off Offenham Road, Evensham, Worcestershire. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was carried out across c. 0.6ha of land, with the remaining c. 0.4ha not able to be surveyed due to dense vegetation. The survey data is dominated by magnetic disturbance emanating from the extant field boundaries, and a ferrous spread, likely caused by construction debris or residential waste, producing large areas of noise across the survey area. However, trends within this debris have been identified. These likely relate to former hedges and/or fencing planted in a linear orientation, visible in satellite imagery. No anomalies suggestive of an archaeological origin were detected; however, due to the presence of such strong magnetic disturbance across the survey area, anomalies of archaeological origin (typically weaker), if present, will have been masked. |
