Description
Magnitude Surveys carried out a fluxgate gradiometer survey of a c.0.56ha. area of land north Marks Tey Railway Station.<1>
No magnetic anomalies thought to be of probable or possible archaeological origin were detected. The geophysical results primarily reflected ferrous or fired debris within the topsoil and wire boundary fences present at the time of survey. A line of ferrous responses reflected the line of a former field boundary denoted on historic mapping. Several linear responses were categorised as undetermined due to the ambiguous nature of the response.
A trial-trenched evaluation was carried out following the geophysical survey (ECC4214).
