Abstract: |
Geophysical survey comprising detailed magnetometry was carried out over 4.6ha using a Sensys Magneto MXPDA 5 channel, cart-based system. The results show widespread pit-like features that appear likely to relate mainly to tree-throw pits, although several may be anthropogenic in origin. In the centre of the site there are bands of variable magnetic responses that could relate to a band of limestone and/or colluvium in the base of a shallow, dry valley. In the western part of the site there are a small number of positive linear and discrete responses, including a possible fragmented curvilinear anomaly; however, they generally lack a coherent morphology and cannot be confidently interpreted. Broad, amorphous zones could relate to natural features within the underlying geology, but an association with former quarrying is possible. |
