Description
A detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey was undertaken on land outlined for a proposed housing development. A range of geophysical anomalies were shown comprising 14 positive linear trends indicative of former field boundaries, four areas of magnetic disturbance logged where marl pits or ponds and a field boundary/trackway are depicted on maps from 1841, seven positive discrete anomalies indicative of back filled pits, ten further areas of magnetic disturbance and a plethora of isolated dipolar responses recorded a fair degree of modern fly-tipping across the site (S1).
