Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of two discrete blocks (Area 1 and Area 4) covering 14.5 hectares at Finmere, Oxfordshire, where the expansion of the operational Finmere Quarry is proposed. A circular anomaly indicative of a ring-ditch in Area 1 corresponds with a cropmark. Two other possible circular features have been identified but an archaeological cause for these anomalies is not certain. Other linear and discrete anomalies in the vicinity of the possible barrow are interpreted as of possible archaeological origin although there is no clear pattern of activity. Immediately south of the possible barrow is a rectangular anomaly possibly indicative of a kiln. The archaeological potential of this central part of Area 1 is assessed as moderate to high. Other anomalies are due to modern agricultural activity and variation in the soils and superficial deposits. No anomalies of archaeological potential have been identified in Area 4. Here the archaeological potential is assessed as very low. |
