Abstract: |
Archaeological Surveys Ltd was commissioned by Nailsea Town Council to undertake a geophysical survey of an area of land to the west of Engine Lane, Nailsea. Detailed magnetometry was carried out using a hand-held Bartington Grad 601-2 gradiometer. A number of anomalies located by the survey could not be characterised and have been classified as uncertain in origin. Within the western half of the survey area there is a widespread response to the underlying geological and pedological conditions, it is possible that a number of anomalies of uncertain origin are also natural features. A series of parallel anomalies associated with agricultural activity are located within the south eastern part of the site; a distinct northern boundary to these anomalies and a series of positive and negative linear anomalies suggest a former field boundary. Two zones of magnetic debris were located and may represent ground make-up or consolidation with waste material. |
