Title Gedling, Nottinghamshire: Geophysical Survey Report
Author/Originator
Date/Year 2016

Abstract/Summary

A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over approximately 17 hectares of arable farmland and rough pasture. No features of probable or possible archaeological origin, have been identified. A small area of ridge and furrow, combined with evidence of more modern ploughing and former field boundaries indicates that the site has a largely agricultural past. Areas of made ground and a strongly magnetic linear anomaly are likely to be related to the former Gedling Colliery, with the areas of made ground related to landfilling activity. The remaining features are modern and include services, magnetic disturbance from nearby ferrous objects, such as fencing, and magnetic spikes which are likely to be modern rubbish.
