SNN117106 - GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY REPORT: Land at Badby, Daventry, NN11 3AE

A magnetometer survey of 6.7 hectares of land at Badby, Daventry has recorded magnetic responses that have been interpreted as being of archaeological interest. Numerous magnetic anomalies are visible in Area 2 which coincide with earthworks mapped by RCHME. Sinuous trends in Area 1 could mark the locations of ditches and are thought to be of possible archaeological interest. Ridge and furrow cultivation has been recorded in both areas. Responses of uncertain origin are also visible in the data; while archaeological origins cannot be entirely discounted, they may have been caused by natural or agricultural processes. The route of a former trackway is mapped crossing Area 2. Bands of increased response and discrete anomalies have been recorded in the north of Area 1 which are due to natural processes.
