Key Points

To identify and interpret magnetic anomalies in relation to archaeological features at Hardingstone Rise.
Conducted a magnetometer survey using four paired Bartington sensors.
Aligned sensors to minimize the earth's magnetic field effects.
Collected data at 0.125m intervals along traverses 1.0m apart using a Trimble RTK GPS system.
Geographically referenced readings to analyze localized anomalies against general background.
Identified numerous magnetic responses suggesting enclosed settlement activity.
Recorded features such as enclosures, pits, ditches, and ring-ditches.
Noted correspondence between some anomalies and existing cropmarks in the Historic Environment Record.
Detected ridge and furrow cultivation in specific survey areas.
Marked responses of uncertain origin, likely due to natural and agricultural processes.

Magnetometer survey reveals localized magnetic anomalies in Northampton, indicating archaeological significance.
