Abstract: |
The site grid was laid out using a Trimble VRS differential Global Positioning System (Trimble R6 model). The survey was undertaken using Bartington Grad601 magnetic gradiometers. These were employed taking readings at 0.25m intervals on zig-zag traverses 1.0m apart within 30m by 30m grids, so that 3600 readings were recorded in each grid. These readings were stored in the memory of the instrument and later downloaded to computer for processing and interpretation. The geophysical survey has detected a number of magnetic anomalies associated with the former cultivation of the site and consists of former field boundaries, modern ploughing and field drains. Magnetic disturbance, along the southern part of Field 2 related to a modern service whilst other areas of disturbance around the periphery of the fields are due to metal fencing within the boundaries. Geological anomalies have been recorded throughout due to variations within the soils. Uncertain anomalies within the dataset may have an archaeological origin although a geological cause is also likely. Based on the results of the geophysical survey the site is considered to have a low potential for the presence of archaeological remains |
