Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey on Land South of Church Farm, Church Lane, Skerne, where it is proposed to construct four new poultry units and an access track. The survey covered the development footprint of each unit as well as a larger area beyond in order to assess a wider area should micro-siting be required. The route of the new access track was also surveyed. Throughout the survey areas (SA's) anomalies caused by agricultural activity (drainage, cultivation and former land division) have been identified. Two localised areas of magnetic disturbance which correlate with former buildings recorded on historic mapping are also noted. The survey has also identified a pentagonal enclosure of likely Iron Age/Romano-British date with internal divisions and discrete features in SAC. However, it should be noted that only a very small part of the northern apex of the enclosure falls within the footprint of the new poultry unit. The archaeological potential here is assessed as moderate to high. No anomalies of likely archaeological potential have been identified at the sites of any of the other three poultry units or along the route of the access track and at these locations the archaeological potential is assessed as very low. |
