Abstract/Summary

Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 9ha area of land at Gaultney Farm, Desborough. A cart-mounted fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed and no anomalies of probable or possible archaeological origin were identified. The centre of the site is dominated by a swathe of broad dipolar anomalies that reflect former quarrying activity within this area. The geophysical results also reflect agricultural usage of the site, detecting field drains and ploughing regimes, as well as modern activity and natural changes in the site’s soils and superficial geology.
