Abstract: |
Archaeological Surveys Ltd carried out a detailed magnetometer survey of land to the east of Highworth Road, Shrivenham, on behalf of Welbeck Strategic Land II LLP. The survey formed part of a second phase of works within the site, and a previous survey carried out by Archaeological Surveys in 2013, located a number of ring ditches and enclosures that relate to Iron Age and possible Roman occupation immediately to the south. The results of the current survey indicate a continuation of the archaeological features with further ring ditches, linear ditches, enclosures, pits and a possible trackway. The survey also located former ridge and furrow, much of which has truncated the earlier archaeological features. Some evidence for quarry/clay pits has also been found, and widespread zones of naturally formed anomalies. |
