Source/Archive record SCH5121 - Buckley's Field, Middlewich, Cheshire

The magnetometry survey identified a number of anomalies of possible archaeological origin. A large positive linear anomaly has been identified in the north east of the site. This anomaly may represent a cut feature of archaeological origin and may be associated with a Roman road thought to exist in the area. A further positive linear anomaly has been identified in the centre of the survey area which may represent a cut feature of archaeological origin. A number of faint positive and negative linear anomalies have also been identified. These anomalies may be caused by archaeological, modern or agricultural activity. The resistivity survey also identified a number of anomalies that could have archaeological origins. A number of bands of varying resistivity oriented in a generally north west – south east direction can be seen, which may relate to structural remains. A linear anomaly crosses the south eastern part of the survey area that may be related to a service trench. Many potential archaeological features may be obscured due to the large areas of magnetic disturbance caused by modern features and obstructions.
