SNN110622 - Land at Lyveden Manor, Northamptonshire: Geophysical Survey

Detailed magnetic gradiometer survey, was undertaken on behalf of The National Trust on land at Lyveden Manor, Aldwincle, Northamptonshire. The survey comprised some 5ha of land around the Manor House. The survey was unsuccessful in identifying features of possible archaeological origin. No remains associated with the village were identified. Wider areas of disturbance might possibly relate to landscaping for garden terraces but neither the form nor extent are clear enough for any certainty. Constraints on area available for survey and widespread modern disturbance hinder interpretation. However, linear features would be expected to be identifiable if present. Discrete positive anomalies would be more difficult to pick out given the widespread disturbance and variability of the background. However, none are convincingly of archaeological origin.
