Geophysical Survey at Iver to Egham Trunk Main

Key Points

The aim is to identify archaeological anomalies using geophysical survey techniques.
Conducted a detailed magnetometer survey over approximately 8.5 hectares
Followed guidance from CIfA and EAC for survey techniques
Utilized Bartington Grad 601-2 magnetometer with specified intervals
No archaeological anomalies were identified during the survey
Data showed dominance of modern made ground and ferrous disturbance

Abstract

Detailed magnetic survey (magnetometry) was chosen as the most efficient and effective method of locating the type of archaeological anomalies which might be expected at this site. All survey techniques followed the guidance set out by CIfA (2020) and the European Archaeology Council (EAC) (2016). Bartington Grad 601-2 Traverse Interval 1.0m Sample Interval 0.25m A detailed magnetometer survey was conducted over approximately 8.5 hectares along the proposed Iver to Egham Trunk Main, and it has not identified any anomalies of archaeological interest. Modern made ground and areas of ferrous disturbance dominate the data.
