Geophysical Survey at Land off Pool House Road, Wombourne, Staffordshire

Data was collected using a cart carrying four paired Bartington magnetic sensors. Four sensors mounted 1m horizontally apart and very accurately aligned to nullify the effects of the earth's magnetic field. Readings relate to the difference in localised magnetic anomalies compared with the general magnetic background. Each data point is geographically referenced using an on-board Trimble RTK survey grade GPS system. Readings were taken at 0.125m centres along traverses 1.0m apart. Readings relate to the difference in localised magnetic anomalies compared with the general magnetic background. The magnetometer survey has not recorded any magnetic responses that could be interpreted as being of definite archaeological interest. A discrete linear response and a few trends have been detected in the survey which have been assigned to the category of uncertain. They have probably been caused by a combination of natural and agricultural processes. The north of Area 2 is magnetically noisy which is due to historic groundworks.
