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. Bespoke in-house software was used to process and present the data. A geophysical (magnetometer) survey was undertaken on approximately 1.5 hectares of land located to the south of Swinston Hill Road, Dinnington, South Yorkshire. Anomalies associated with possible medieval/post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation have been detected along with responses associated with a recent boundary fence. Responses categorised as uncertain may be of some interest. Magnetic disturbance can be seen across the Site and a service pipe runs in the north. Based on the geophysical survey the archaeological potential of this Site is deemed to be low. |
