Abstract: |
The geological conditions were not particularly favourable for magnetometer survey, with the soils being of a generally low magnetic susceptibility. Despite this a wide range of anomalies were recorded, the majority of which were weak in nature but appear to have an archaeological origin. Many of the anomalies correlate well with those depicted on the historical maps, which would give them a medieval to post-medieval origin. Three linear trends are arranged on a different alignment which suggests a second archaeological phase of unknown origin. Further archaeological investigation will help to establish the nature of the anomalies and test the interpretations that are given in this report. |
