Full description

Edwards, M., 2021, Land at Staddon Hill, Appledore: Magnetometer Survey (Report - Survey). SDV364386.

A magnetometer survey was selected to provide a relatively fast and cost-effective evaluation of any buried archaeology across the Survey Area (see Section 14). The differences in magnetic responses across the Survey Area were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible buried archaeology and background magnetic responses.

Twenty-four magnetic anomaly groups were detected during the survey, of which 22 were characterised as reflecting potential buried archaeology. Anomaly group 5 may relate to former enclosure boundaries, currently of unknown date.
