Full Description
October 2024. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of part of large proposed development area (LP_025 and LP_026).
This survey identified little of potential archaeological interest. Although several north-east to south-west aligned linear anomalies are likely to represent infilled ditches these all correspond with former field boundaries shown on the West Walton Tithe map (S1). A large discrete anomaly at TF 4927 1366 corresponds with a pond depicted for the first time on the Ordnance Survey Second Edition map (S2).
A network of sinuous palaeochannels is also visible across the entire site, reflecting the former presence of tidal flats at this location.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
