SNN107616 - Archaeological Geophysical Evaluation for the Silverstone Motor Racing Circuit Masterplan

Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by Hyder Consulting to carry out a 42.2ha programme of detailed magnetometer survey at Silverstone Motot Racing Circuit. Survey located anomalies relating to recent structures and deposits, roads and tracks, reburied hard standing, service pipelines and ferrous debris. Two possible archaeological anomalies were identified in Area G2A, putatively ditches but equally feasibly ephemeral modern features, such as drainage channels or beaten paths. Despte the extensive disturbance on the site, sufficient open areas were surveyed between tracks and around hard standing, to demonstrate little significant archaeological activity.
