Abstract:
A programme of detailed magnetometer survey covering approximately 20 hectares was carried out adjacent to the A1(M) on land that may be impacted by the road upgrade. The proposed survey of a further 18 hectares was not undertaken due to access problems. At the northern end of the corridor anomalies indicative of infilled ditches provided further evidence for the extent of two late Iron Age/Early Roman period 'ladder' settlements and associated field systems whose presence was initially suggested by analysis of air photographs and subsequently confirmed by previous geophysical survey. Large areas of magnetic disturbance were indicative of quarrying and infilling. At the southern end of the corridor isolated ditch type anomalies were identified. [Au(abr)]
