Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 70 hectares, on land east of Newborough Road, Peterborough, to inform future archaeological strategy in relation to the proposed development of the site. The survey has identified three discrete areas of probable archaeological activity which are all possibly associated with the post-medieval manufacture of bricks and/or tiles. An extensive rectangular anomaly is interpreted as a possible brick clamp. An area of industrial activity and an area of possible industrial dumping have also been clearly defined. Two anomalies of uncertain origin are also identified as well as anomalies due to an extensive network of field drains and to former boundaries. On the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential across the majority of the site as assessed as being low or very low but with a moderate to high potential in the vicinity of the probable industrial activity. |
