Description
A detailed magnetometer survey was undertaken by Archaeological Surveys Ltd at the request of Border Archaeology on the site of a proposed anerobic digestion biogass plant at Wormslade Farm near Clipston in Northamptonshire. The results of the survey show that the site contains a number of weakly positive linear anomalies, some with curvilinear or rectilinear elements. However, they are widespread, weak, short, fragmented and incoherent and their origin cannot be determined. A number of pit-like responses can also be seen, with a concentration in the south-eastern corner of the site, but, as with the linear anomalies, it is not clear if they relate to naturally or anthropogenically formed features. Evidence for former ridge and furrow, a field boundary, possible land drains and an infille pond has also been located.
