Summary
Summary A geophysical (magnetometer) survey comprising magnetic scanning followed by selected detailed survey was carried out at the proposed site of a cemetery extension at Butterfield, north-east of Luton. Areas of enhanced magnetic response were identified during the scanning phase and subsequently confirmed by the detailed survey. The broad and discontinuous nature of these anomalies suggests the cause is more likely to be geological rather than archaeological. These areas of natural magnetic enhancement are relatively strong and therefore potentially could mask weaker responses from underlying archaeological features. However, no anomalies of a probable archaeological nature have been identified.
