Description
Area A4 is a detailed gradiometer survey area, which formed part of the larger geophysical survey undertaken along the route of a new water supply main between the Wessex Water works at Corfe Mullen, Dorset to Camp Hill Storage Tank near Salisbury, Wiltshire.
No anomalies of probable archaeological origin have been identified in area A4.
Possible archaeology is represented by several negative linear responses indicative of former banked features of possible archaeological origin (Anomaly 377), several magnetic spikes in the centre of the area that are indicative of ferrous materials (Anomaly 378) and a single discrete positive response in the north of the area which is indicative of a former cut feature such as an in-filled pit (Anomaly 379).
The record for this event has been created with support from Wessex Water.
