Abstract: |
The survey was undertaken using a cart-based survey an eight channel SenSYS MX V3 system containing eight FGM650 sensors. Readings are taken every 20MHz (between 0.05 and 0.1m). Data were recorded onto a device, using a Carlson GNSS Smart antenna, for centimetre accuracy. These readings were stored in the memory of the instrument and downloaded for processing and interpretation. DLMGPS and MAGNETO software, alongside bespoke in-house software was used to process and present the data. A geophysical (magnetometer) survey was undertaken on approximately 65 hectares of land located at Clump Farm to the west of Enderby, Leicestershire. Anomalies of both a definite and a possible archaeological origin have been detected including settlement features, a trackway, pits, field systems, likely Roman buildings and a square response which may indicate a mausoleum. Former field boundaries, modern ploughing and field drains have also been recorded. Geological responses can be seen throughout. Based on the geophysical survey the archaeological potential of the Site is deemed to be high. [HER note - the rectangular feature is the site of the post-medieval country house Tooley Hall] |
