Abstract: |
Magnetometer survey carried out over c. 12.5ha using hand-carried GNSS-positioned bespoke fluxgate gradiometer system. Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of c. 12.5ha area of land at Elm Lane, Copdock, Suffolk. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully carried out across c. 10ha; the remainder was not surveyed due to the presence of overgrown vegetation, livestock, and allotments. No anomalies of probable or possible archaeological origin have been detected. The survey has primarily identified anomalies related to natural variations in the underlying soil and geology. Agricultural activity has been identified in the form of a former field boundary as well as modern ploughing trends and field drains. Isolated anomalies classified as ‘Undetermined’ were identified within the survey area and while they might be caused by natural or agricultural processes an archaeological origin cannot be excluded. The impact of modern activity is limited to magnetic disturbance around fences at field edges and spreads of ferrous debris within the recorded horse paddocks. |
