Abstract: |
Detailed magnetic gradiometer survey, was undertaken for SLR Consulting on 4ha of land adjacent to the Morrison's supermarket on the southern edge of Ripon, North Yorkshire. The survey results suffer from considerable magnetic noise due in part to recent fly-tipping and general scatter of rubbish across the area. In the east and south of the area, however, there was little apparent at the surface and the strong magnetic effects must relate to buried material. Local knowledge suggests episodes of landfill. This aside, there is little within the survey results that can be clearly interpreted as archaeological. A possible ditch in the northwest corner gives the most coherent response, but only a short length falls within the survey area. A few other possible linear and curvilinear features are tentatively highlighted, but these are only weakly expressed and given the range of background variation and degree of modern disturbance cannot be confidently interpreted. Faint parallel trends in the north and west of the survey area may indicate the former presence of ridge and furrow cultivation and provide some indication of earlier field layout. |
