Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 16 hectares on land south of Stevenage Road, Little Wymondley, prior to the submission of a planning application for a proposed housing development. No anomalies of probable archaeological origin have been identified by the survey. The survey has, however, confirmed that spoil from the construction of Wymondley Bypass has been spread across the southern half of the site effectively 'masking' the response from any archaeological features that may be present in that area; albeit that this does not affect the entire site. The archaeological potential of this part of the site therefore remains uncertain but is assumed to be low based on the conclusions of a recent desk-based assessment. In the northern half of the site anomalies indicative of post-medieval and modern activity, mostly small-scale mineral extraction, are identified. No anomalies consistent with medieval activity have been identified suggesting that the medieval village did not extend to the northern limits of the survey area; the most northerly part of the site, comprising a single small field, was overgrown and unsuitable for survey and therefore remains unevaluated. The archaeological potential of the PDA is considered to be low where the survey returned usable data. |
