Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry was carried out over 6.2ha at Littlestone-on-Sea, Kent using a hand-pushed, cart-based magnetometer with 5 sensors spaced 0.5m apart. The results relate to the widespread naturally silted up as well as deliberately infilled tidal inlets that are recorded on mapping and aerial photographs within the site. Other anomalies could relate to more recent land drainage features. Widespread magnetic debris is evident along with a number of buried services. In the south eastern corner of the site are a small number of discrete positive responses. While some appear to be associated with a linear zone of magnetic debris associated with the tidal flats and dumped material, a single, isolated response appears to relate to a magnetically enhanced feature. However, it is not possible to determine the date or origin of the magnetic enhancement. |
