Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometry survey was carried out over approximately 10ha of land at North Draycot Park Farm, Seagry, Wiltshire, ahead of a proposed tree planting scheme. Mature trees were bulldozed ahead of dumping of spoil from cuttings along the M4 motorway to the south in 1969. The results support the evidence for widespread ground disturbance and dumping including several large ferrous items within the southern part of the site. A number of negative linear anomalies were also located, but it is not clear if they pre-date the parkland tree planting, or if they are associated with the removal of the trees, or related to ground disturbance or land drainage measures. In the northern part of the site the majority of the anomalies appear to relate to variations within the underlying geology, with others associated with a previously mapped circular tree enclosure ring and possible tracks. |
