Summary

A geophysical survey of this small area in 2010 revealed no potentially archaeologically-significant anomalies. There was though considerable background magnetic noise which may well have obscured any smaller features present.

Map

January-May 2010. Geophysical survey.
Magnetometer survey of proposed development site (Areas 24).
No anomalies of obvious archaeological significance were identified.
It is though noted that, like those to the west, this area exhibited a high level of background magnetic noise, suggesting the ploughsoil is heavily contaminated with ferrous debris, brick rubble, slag or other magnetic debris. Weak geological 'patterned ground' anomalies are also present, though rendered somewhat indistinct by the background noise.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).
