Abstract: |
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 237ha area of land surrounding the village of Grazeley, Berkshire. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across most of the site. Several small areas were inaccessible or unsuitable for survey. Anomalies classified as archaeological origin have been identified through the centre of the site. Croft and toft settlement features have been identified in the west of the site with characteristic narrow land parcels. Similar types of features have been identified elsewhere and are also considered to represent historic agricultural activity. Overall, the geophysical results primarily reflect agricultural activity, with former field boundaries, ploughing regimes, and drainage networks identified. A former brickwork has been identified in the south-west. Anomalies of a natural origin are evident throughout the site, particularly through the east-following the banks of Foudry Brook. |
