Abstract: |
The study site was surveyed using a cart-based survey, undertaken using an eight channel SenSYS MX V3 system containing eight FGM650 sensors. Readings are taken every 20MHz (between 0.05 and 0.1m). Data were recorded onto a device, using a Carlson GNSS Smart antenna, for centimetre accuracy. These readings were stored in the memory of the instrument and downloaded for processing and interpretation. DLMGPS and MAGNETO software, alongside bespoke in-house software was used to process and present the data. A geophysical (magnetometer) survey was undertaken on land consisting of approximately 875 hectares of land associated with Cottam 1 located surrounding the settlement of Coates, Lincolnshire. The majority of the anomalies recorded are agricultural including field drains, ridge and furrow cultivation, modern ploughing and former field boundaries. Archaeological and possible archaeological responses have been recorded in at least ten separate clusters which are likely to relate to settlement activity. Based on the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential of this site is deemed to be high in those ten areas and low elsewhere. |
