Abstract: |
1.2. The geophysical survey comprised quad-towed and hand-carried GNSS-positioned fluxgate gradiometer survey. Magnetic survey is the standard primary geophysical method for archaeological applications in the UK due to its ability to detect a range of different features. The technique is particularly suited for detecting fired or magnetically enhanced features, such as ditches, pits, kilns, sunken featured buildings (SFBs) and industrial activity (David et al., 2008). 8.1. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across the survey area with 0.4ha unable to be surveyed due to dense scrub in the area. Modern interference was detected from services and housing around the border of the survey area.
8.2. Anomalies related to agricultural use of the survey area have been detected in the western part of the survey area in the form of possible ridge and furrow.
8.3. Natural anomalies produced by variations in the underlying soil and chalk geology have been identified.
8.4. Some anomalies were interpreted and classified as “undetermined” as they could have an archaeological, agricultural, or even natural origin. |
