Description
The proposed development area is situated to the southeast of Worksop and Manton. The proposed development area comprises c.25.76ha of agricultural land to the south of the A57 and Manton Wood Business Park, and to the northwest of Clumber Park Country Park.
Geomagnetic measurements were determined using a Bartington Grad601-2 dual gradiometer system, with twin sensors set 1m apart. It was expected that significant archaeological features at a depth of up to 1.5m would be detected using this arrangement. The survey was undertaken using a zig-zag traverse scheme, with data being logged in 30m grid units. A sample interval of 0.25m was used, with a traverse interval of 1m, providing 3600 sample measurements per grid unit, with measurements being recorded at the centre of each grid cell.
It is believed that northwest side of the survey area has been subject to soil-stripping and sand extraction, the land subsequently being re-instated as farmland, with a resulting lack of geophysical anomalies in this area. The results of the geophysical survey therefore indicate that the there is a low potential for archaeological features at the site.
