Abstract: |
The detailed magnetic survey was carried out using a SENSYS MAGNETO MX V3 6 channel cart-based system. The instrument has 6 fluxgate gradiometers (FGM650) spaced 0.5m apart with readings recorded at 20Hz which equates to a survey resolution of 0.5m by 0.15m. The results indicate a group of anomalies that relate to former features mapped in the 1840s and associated with Pinkhurst Farm. A zone of magnetic debris to the north is also related to the demolished farm buildings. Linear zones of magnetic debris to the south could be associated with material spread through modern agricultural activity and flooding. In the southern part of the site there are a number of weakly positive linear anomalies, and while one could relate to a formerly mapped field boundary, the others do not have a coherent morphology or layout and cannot be confidently interpreted as cut features. |
