Abstract: |
A magnetometer survey was carried out across an area of land at The Chestnuts, Winscombe, using a hand-held Bartington Grad 601-2 gradiometer ahead of a housing development. The survey area was restricted by scrub, briars and saplings. The area was also magnetically noisy due to modern dumping of ferrous and magnetically thermoremnant material and the presence of ferrous objects within or immediately adjacent to the survey area. A number of positive and negative anomalies were located although their interpretation is limited. A broad linear response within the northern part of the survey area may represent a former cut ditch-like feature; amorphous anomalies within the south eastern part of the site may represent ground disturbance and/or cut features. The archaeological potential of these anomalies cannot be determined from the results. |
