REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, MARCH 1996. WESTWOODSIDE, HUMBERSIDE
Author(s): M A Cole
Magnetic surveys were undertaken at Westwoodside, Humberside, in response to a request from the Humber Wetlands Project. Their aim was to investigate surface finds of prehistoric material (including 3 bronze socketed axes, a flint tranchet axe, a dolerite axe, and many flints). It was hoped that the survey would map any subsurface features associated with these finds and thereby identify a site for consideration for scheduling by the Monuments Protection Programme of English Heritage. Despite a generally subdued magnetic response, a limited number of potentially significant features were located. Additionally, a possible focus of activity is suggested by a zone of heightened magnetic response and a corresponding enhancement of topsoil magnetic susceptibility.
