Abstract:
Archaeological Surveys Ltd carried out a detailed magnetometer survey at a site near Wentwood Drive, Bleadon, North Somerset. The survey was conducted using a hand-pushed cart-based system with 5 sensors spaced 0.5m apart. The site contains a number of linear earthworks oriented north to south and east to west. The results of the survey demonstrate that these linear boundaries are associated with strongly magnetic material, such as slag or other magnetically thermoremnant material. There is some evidence of former boundaries or lynchets on a different orientation underlying these extant boundary features. A zone of pits is located in the south eastern corner of the site, upon the higher ground, and many of these are arranged in clusters. The origin and function of the pits cannot be confidently determined from the results of the magnetometry but their archaeological potential should be considered. In the north eastern corner of the site, where the ground dips quite steeply, there are a number of positive and negative linear and rectilinear anomalies of uncertain origin.
