Abstract: |
The site grid was laid out using a Trimble VRS differential Global Positioning System (Trimble R6 model). The survey was undertaken using Bartington Grad601 magnetic gradiometers. These were employed taking readings at 0.25m intervals on zig-zag traverses 1.0m apart within 30m by 30m grids, so that 3600 readings were recorded in each grid. These readings were stored in the memory of the instrument and later downloaded to computer for processing and interpretation. A geophysical (magnetometer) survey was undertaken on approximately 4.4 hectares of land located to the north of Foxdenton Road, Foxdenton, Oldham, Greater Manchester. Anomalies associated with 18th century buildings have been recorded along with former field boundaries. Magnetic disturbance relate to metal fencing within the boundaries and adjacent roads/tracks. A service pipe has also been recorded. Geological anomalies have been recorded throughout due to variations within the sandy soils. No anomalies of an early archaeological origin have been recorded. |
