Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry carried out over 1ha using a hand-pushed, cart-based system of 5 sensors spaced 0.5m apart. The results indicate the presence of a small number of very weak, narrow and poorly defined positive linear anomalies within the development area that cannot be confidently interpreted. Further anomalies have been located outside of the development area and these include a number of small, positive curvilinear and discrete anomalies forming rings or arcs. The response and form could indicate cut features with archaeological potential, however, such anomalies could also relate to naturally formed features within the underlying clay geology and the origin is therefore uncertain. Other discrete and linear anomalies also indicate some levels of magnetic enhancement, but again it is not possible to determine the origin. |
