Abstract: |
A magnetometer survey was undertaken across two areas as part of an investigation of an ancient settlement site which lay at the eastern side of the Eton College playing fields, and adjacent to the Flood Alleviation Channel now being constructed. The settlement, which was of Iron Age or Romano-British date and characterised by a series of rectilinear enclosures, had previously been investigated both by magnetometer survey and excavation. The survey produced positive findings in area 1, but the results from area 2 were not fully conclusive. The presence of parallel ditches and possible enclosures in area 1 confirmed that the site as previously surveyed extended further to the west, although possibly with only a limited number of pits or other features within the enclosures. It was possible that some individual pits had been detected in area 2, but the significance of the findings was uncertain. Soil conditions here may have been less responsive for magnetometer surveying that in other areas investigated, but the survey had failed to detect any ditches which would confirm that the enclosures excavated in 1999 extended across area 2.
