Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (earth resistance and ground-penetrating radar) survey of a 0.5 hectare proposed development at Formby Hall, Liverpool. No anomalies of definite archaeological potential have been recorded in either survey indicative of formal gardens, only a series of drains/services have been identified in the surveys. An extremely tentative, square shaped anomaly, similar in response to the background readings has been identified, although this is considered to be natural in origin a possible archaeological interpretation cannot be dismissed. A single linear anomaly aligned slightly oblique to the drains has been recorded in the data, the origin of which is unknown. A possible former ground surface has been recorded in the ground penetrating radar survey from 0.79m below the current surface, which may indicate the land surrounding the hall was levelled before being landscaped. Overall the archaeological potential of this part of the site is considered low. |
