A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Long Hazel Farm, Sparkford, Somerset (centred on NGR 360125, 126095). The project was commissioned by Larry Piper with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in support of a planning application ahead of the development of the site. The site comprises arable fields located to the south of Crow Orchard Road, covering an area of 1.10ha of which 0.95ha was achieved. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 13th August 2015. The detailed gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of linear anomalies and sub-circular anomalies of potential archaeological interest across the site. Anomalies recognised bearing archaeological interest are typically ditch- or pit- like features. These may identify former field boundaries or be associated with these. Additionally, this archaeological investigation has detected an area of increased magnetic response and superficial geology in the north of the Site. |
