Monument record SPT 065 - OUTLINE RECORD: Land off Burstall Lane, Sproughton (WYAS) GEO (OAE) EVL

A geophysical (magnetometer) survey, was undertaken on 21.91 hectares of land located to the north of Burstall Lane, Sproughton. Several anomalies of possible archaeological origin have been detected within the survey area, which consist of two weak linear features that form a fragmented enclosure. Agricultural trends can be seen throughout the survey area in the form of former field boundaries, modern trackways, and footpaths. Low magnitude magnetic responses across the Site indicate variable geology resulting from the topography.
Several service pipes and a water main that is present on utilities mapping have also been detected. Around the periphery, magnetic anomalies indicative of modern disturbance and debris has been recorded. The archaeological potential of the survey area is deemed to be moderate (S1).
