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. Bespoke in-house software was used to process and present the data. Further details are given in Appendix 1. A geophysical (magnetometer) survey was undertaken on approximately 1.4 hectares of land located to the south of Marton Road, Gargrave, North Yorkshire. Isolated and linear geological responses have been identified throughout. Possible evidence of medieval ridge and furrow has also been detected, along with anomalies synonymous of modern ploughing cultivation. Ferrous responses have also been detected scattered across the Site, with magnetic disturbance identified along its periphery associated with metal fencing within modern field boundaries. Overall the archaeological potential of this site is deemed to be low, |
