Abstract:		 Resistance survey was carried out over the site of a putative wooden trackway, Area 1, and the results reflect the waterlogged nature of the peat. A low resistance linear anomaly is visible and this coincides with a land drain. Slightly raised readings are visiblealong the south-eastern edge of the survey. Although these proved to coincide with a wooden structure that was subsequently excavated, the increase in values is thought in part to be a result of a change in vegetation at this point. The anomalies were not of a strength that they could be interpreted on the basis of the geophysics alone. Given the poor survey conditions no further work was attempted. A second field was investigated, Area 2, as it was felt this might have been a good location for settlement. The survey lies on a relatively high piece of ground close to the supposed trackway. Magnetically the whole platform was found to be very quiet; a sample strip confirmed the absense of even weak anomalies. The resistance results were slightly more encouraging; a few linear and curvilinear low anomalies are clearly visible. However, some of these were thought to be asssociated with animal burrows that were visible and other proved, when excavated, to be relatively modern, certainly not prehistoric.
