SUTTON FARM, N.YORKSHIRE. REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, DECEMBER 1997

Author(s): E Bray

A magnetometer survey was carried out over an area of Sutton Farm, N.Yorkshire for inclusion in the Humber Wetlands Project. The aim was to identify archaeological features associated with Roman and Medieval pottery surface finds at the site. Topsoil samples were also taken for measurement of magnetic susceptibility. The data collected provides clear evidence of an enclosure system around a central roadway, and some ridge and furrow activity. The measured magnetic susceptibility samples correlated well with the areas of archaeological activity.
