Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry was carried out within three fields on the eastern edge of Congresbury in North Somerset. The survey was carried out using a hand-pushed 5 channel cart based system. The results of the survey indicate that there are a number of positive linear, possible rectilinear and discrete responses in the north western part of the site that may relate to cut features, such as ditches and pits. An arc of discrete positive responses, including some very strong responses, are located in the vicinity. Magnetic debris and strong, discrete, dipolar anomalies, typical of shallow ferrous objects, are widespread. In the southern part of the site is a strongly magnetic anomaly which may relate to a discrete zone of intense burning. However it is situated at the junction of, and may partly overlie, a former boundary. The northern part of the site contains a number of parallel linear anomalies that are associated with strip field cultivation boundaries. Further south, narrow agricultural gullies contain a series of ceramic land drains. |
