SDO15241 - Land off Nottington Lane, Wey Valley, Dorset. Magnetometer Survey Report

‘A detailed magnetometer survey was undertaken by Archaeological Surveys Ltd at the request of CgMs Consulting, over an area of land to the south of Nottington Lane, north of Weymouth in Dorset. The results of the survey indicate the presence of a number of positive linear, discrete and amorphous responses within each survey area. However, the majority are weak, fragmented, short, indistinct and they lack a coherent morphology preventing confident interpretation. It is possible that many of the responses relate to naturally formed features, although cut features, such as ditches and pits, should also be considered. Widespread and strongly magnetic debris is evident across much of the site, and this has the potential to obscure weak anomalies, particularly adjacent to the western boundary.’
