Abstract: |
Archaeology South East was commissioned by Berkeley Homes (Southern) Ltd to undertake a detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey at Howard of Effingham School, Effingham, Surrey. The survey took place on the 25th July 2014. The survey area covered approximately 0.7 hectares and comprised a sportsfield. Evidence for archaeological features within the magnetic survey was sparse. However, the survey did successfully detect several linear and discrete anomalies of possible archaeological origin. Areas of magnetic disturbance may mask underlying features with a weaker magnetic signature. In general, the possible archaeological anomalies identified within the survey are indistinct. This may be due to the features themselves being ephemeral, overburden between the magnetometer and the feature, the result of more recent agricultural activity, infilling of natural features or a combination of these. Much of the magnetic debris and disturbance observed within the survey is undoubtedly related to modern activity. |
