Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry was undertaken by Archaeological Surveys Ltd, over two areas within Highworth Country Park, ahead of proposed tree planting under the Great Western Community Forest by Swindon Borough Council. The results within Area 1 in the northern part of the site reveal a fragmented positive linear anomaly that appears to have been truncated by, and therefore pre-date the ridge and furrow at the eastern edge of the site. Elsewhere, weaker linear anomalies could relate to cut features, but they lack a coherent morphology. Both survey areas contain ridge and furrow and later land drainage, with large zones of magnetic debris indicative of dumped material within Area 2. Also within this area there are two groups of positive responses that could relate to cut features, although this is uncertain. |
