Description
The site lies 100m northwest of All Saints Church in Beckingham. The total area of the site is 1.2ha, encompassing one field. The site is bounded by Church Street to the south and open fields to the north, with housing to the east and west.
A magnetic gradiometry survey was carried out with a Bartington Grad 601-2 fluxgate magnetometer. The fields were divided into 30m2 grids using a survey grade GPS and each grid was walked systematically in a zigzag pattern, taking readings every 0.25m in traverses 1m apart.
The survey data has captured some magnetic anomalies, but due to the small nature of the area and the unsurveyed sections, the data is incomplete. However, there do not seem to be any continual anomalies present that would be affected by this discontinuity. It is possible the broader magnetic disturbance identified across much of the survey area could mask weaker magnetic anomalies.
Overall the site appears to have archaeological activity in the form of agricultural ridge and furrow, with some areas of the site having magnetic disturbance that could mask weaker anomalies.
