Abstract: |
Magnetometer survey carried out over c. 8.1ha using quad-towed GNSS-positioned bespoke fluxgate gradiometer system. 0.3ha was unable to be surveyed due to the presence of overgrown vegetation. Anomalies relating to a former tramway visible on historical OS mapping were identified. Multiple mapped field boundaries have been detected in the survey area in addition to ridge and furrow cultivation, drainage features and linear anomalies likely relating to modern ploughing. Anomalies classified as ‘undetermined’ have been detected and although these are likely to be a result of natural processes or agricultural activities, an archaeological origin cannot be ruled out completely. The impact of modern activity on the site is visible in magnetic interference caused by perimeter fencing. |
