Key Points

  • To evaluate potential archaeological features on land designated for residential development using geophysical survey methods.
  • Geophysical survey conducted by magnetometry on land at The Orchards, Dunston.
  • Investigation required as a condition of planning consent for residential development.
  • Few features of archaeological interest identified, primarily a large area of magnetic noise.
  • The magnetic noise likely represents a former cess pit from the village hall.
  • Two curvilinear positive features possibly indicate parallel ditches or a levelled former bank.

Abstract

Allen Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Clive Wickes Associates to undertake a geophysical survey by magnetometry on land at The Orchards, Lincoln Road, Dunston, Lincolnshire, as a condition of planning consent for a residential development. The survey has revealed very few features of potential archaeological interest. A large area of magnetic noise within the site likely represents a former cess pit from the local village hall before it was connected to main sewage. There were a couple of curvilinear positive features which could represent parallel ditches, but might relate to a levelled former bank.
