Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 3.3 hectares to the south of Soulbury Road, Stewkley, to provide information about the archaeological potential of the site which is proposed for development. A well-defined square area of magnetic disturbance in the north-western corner of the site corresponds with an area of cropmarks which are recorded as possible medieval enclosures within the Buckinghamshire Historic Environment Record (HER MBC3264). The disturbance is likely to be caused by the spreading of magnetically-enhanced material throughout the former enclosure prior to its removal. However, no anomalies specifically locating the enclosure, or any features within it, have been identified by the survey. Elsewhere, anomalies have been identified which reflect the former agricultural landscape in the form of ridge and furrow cultivation. Therefore, based on the results and interpretation of the data, the archaeological potential of the site is considered to be low and moderate within the vicinity of the possible medieval enclosure. |
