Description

Land at East Leake Quarry, Rempstone Extension was magnetically surveyed to prospect for buried structures of archaeological interest. The survey area encompassed approximately 6.1ha of land across a single agricultural field. Instrument: Array of Geometrics G858 Magmapper caesium magnetometers Sensitivity: 0.03 nT @ 10 Hz Spatial Resolution: 0.5m between lines, 0.3m mean along line interval Full coverage of the survey area was achieved with the results indicating two areas of potential archaeological interest. The first is in the north-west, where a set of potential enclosure ditches possibly related to known Romano-British activity nearby to the west. The second area is adjacent to the east edge of the survey, where two possible kiln or hearth structures and surrounding debris were identified. There is no clear sign of ridge and furrow cultivation although it is possible that modern arable processes have significantly reduced the potential for a magnetic mapping of this.
