Abstract: |
Magnetometer survey carried out over c. 34.35ha using hand-carried GNSS-positioned bespoke fluxgate gradiometer system. Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 34.35ha area of land at Proposed Quarry, Brockley Wood, Belstead, Ipswich. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across the survey area. The survey identified a probable prehistoric field system orientated in an orthogonal pattern. Weak linear and strong discrete anomalies may relate to this field system though it is not possible to be certain of this interpretation. Natural deposits are highlighted by anomalies relating to superficial glacial outwash. Agricultural activity has been identified, including two former field boundaries and a footpath depicted historical mapping, and linear trends caused by the modern usage of the area for potato cultivation. Several discrete and linear anomalies have been interpreted as ‘Undetermined’ throughout the survey area. Magnetic disturbance is mostly limited to the edges of the survey area. |
