Abstract: |
A geophysical survey, comprising detailed magnetometry, was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd within several fields outlined as parcels H7 and H8 within the Millfields development on the eastern edge of Cam in Gloucestershire. The survey was carried out using a hand-pushed, cart-based system of 5 sensors spaced 0.5m apart, collecting data at 20Hz. The results indicate the presence of a number of positive linear and possible rectilinear anomalies in the north western corner of the site which could relate to cut features; however, they are parallel with ridge and furrow and possibly later cultivation and they therefore may be associated with agricultural activity. A series of parallel linear anomalies appear to extend towards a linear ditch-like feature that extends through three fields, and it is possible that they are associated with land drainage. Other positive linear and discrete responses have been located, but they lack a coherent morphology and cannot be confidently interpreted. |
