Description
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c.73ha area of land by the River Foss, north of York. A fluxgate magnetometer survey was successfully
completed, and no anomalies suggestive of significant archaeological features were identified. The
geophysical data has primarily recorded the former course of the River Foss running north-south
across the centre of the survey area; features associated with fluvial morphology have also been
identified, such as meanders and ox-bows. The survey area is generally characterised by extensive
drainage features, suggestive of longstanding and intense landscape management of the survey area.
Agricultural activity has been identified in the form of known and unknown former field boundaries
and modern ploughing trends. Modern interference is limited to the survey edges, underground
services, pylons and overhead cables.
