Abstract: |
Archaeological Surveys Ltd carried out a geophysical survey over 44ha on the north eastern edge of Chippenham, Wiltshire. Detailed magnetometry entailed survey using a hand-pushed, 5 channel cart-based system. The survey located a number of positive linear and discrete anomalies within the site. The majority of the anomalies were very weak with many appearing fragmented and indistinct. Patches of magnetic debris appear to correspond to spreads of possible building material and medieval and post-medieval pottery scatters that were evident on the ground surface at the time of survey. These appear to relate to former dwellings and land plots. A possible associated boundary feature may also have been located. Close to the eastern edge of the site, are a number of positive responses that may relate to cut features or areas of burning and there appears to be associated magnetic debris in the vicinity. While it is possible that some of the magnetic debris is of modern origin, medieval and post-medieval pottery was visible on the ground surface and evidence for post-medieval kilns and a possible workshop are recorded in the area on the Wiltshire HER. Within the western part of the site) are a group of positive and negative anomalies that could relate to earthwork features formerly visible on the ground within the site. |
