Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry was carried out over 4 separate areas within Shaw Ridge Linear Park ahead of tree planting using a 5 channel, cart based system. The results of the survey indicate the presence of a number of strongly magnetic anomalies that could relate to features with intense burning, such as kilns. A number of rectilinear enclosures and pits close by appear to be associated and their morphology may be indicative of Romano-British features. Although the majority of the archaeological features lie outside of the areas outlined for planting, some archaeological features, including the corner of an enclosure and at least two strongly magnetic responses are situated within these proposed areas. Within the rest of the site a small number of discrete anomalies have also been located, but it is not clear if they relate to features with archaeological potential or more modern features. |
