Abstract: |
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c.4ha area of land at West Lund Lane, Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across the survey area. Potential archaeological activity has been recorded in the form of a large curving linear anomaly and further associated linear anomalies of unknown date. Anomalies related to historic agricultural use have been identified and interpreted as a former field boundary and an associated ridge and furrow ploughing regime, as well as a concentrated deposit of magnetic material. The impact of modern activity on the results consists of magnetic 'haloes' caused by buildings bordering the site and magnetic disturbance from field boundaries, as well as telegraph poles located within the survey area. A series of linear anomalies were identified in the north of the survey area; these could relate to agricultural use of the landscape, however, their origin is not clear in the magnetic data therefore these anomalies have been classified 'undetermined'. |
