Abstract: |
Archaeological Surveys Ltd carried out a geophysical survey on land at Bunkers Hill Farm in Rotherwick, Hampshire, ahead of a proposed solar farm development. Detailed magnetometry was carried out over 84ha using a multi-channel cart-based system using a combination of an ATV-towed array and hand-pushed cart. Detailed magnetometry located a number of kiln structures in the southern part of the site that are associated with widespread magnetic debris and visible probable Roman brick and tile on the ground surface. Linear, rectilinear and discrete anomalies nearby appear to relate to cut features with archaeological potential. Evidence for burning can also be seen close to them, but it is not clear if it is associated or relates to relatively recent tree clearance. In the northern part of the site there are a number of positive and negative linear, rectilinear and discrete anomalies that could relate to further features with archaeological potential. Several of the survey areas in the lower lying fields contain responses to alluvial deposits and former fluvial channels. Many of the survey areas also contain anomalies associated with formerly mapped field boundaries, removed during the later 20th century. |
