'SUMO Geophysics Ltd were commissioned to undertake a geophysical survey of an area outlined for development. This survey forms part of an archaeological investigation being undertaken by Orion Heritage on behalf of Wyatt Homes.' 'Detailed magnetic survey (magnetometry) was chosen as the most efficient and effective method of locating the type of archaeological anomalies which might be expected at this site.' ‘A detailed magnetometer survey was conducted over approximately 5.7 ha of land at Charminster. No definite archaeological features have been identified. A former field boundary, track and other divisions associated with a former allotment garden have been mapped, along with evidence for ridge and furrow. An underground service has also been identified, as well as areas of ferrous disturbance.‘
