Abstract: |
This report has been prepared for Stride Treglown on behalf of clients. The magnetic responses across the survey area were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses. Eighty-six magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential archaeological deposits or features. Of these, four groups represent former field boundaries mapped on historical maps. One group may represent a metalled track with flanking ditches. Two groups may represent physically adjacent ring ditches and a third group, in a separate field, may also represent a ring ditch although this is less certain. Six groups together may denoted two physically adjacent archaeological enclosures. Two groups represent former quarries also recorded on historical maps. Two other anomaly groups may represent unrecorded former quarries. The remaining anomaly groups are linear and curvilinear anomalies that often denote fragments of former field or enclosure boundaries of unknown date and possibly of more than one phase of past land management. |
