Abstract: |
The survey detected potential ditches and pits, predominately situated in the central and western parts of site. A number of ditches in the central area appear to encompass the eastern extents two conjoined enclosures (one with internal features), whilst examples in the western part of site possibly bounding a narrow, partially enclosed strip of land. The majority of linear anomalies/trends correspond to recently removed field boundaries. Other examples possibly indicate recent land divisions, although this hypothesis is not corroborated by cartographic evidence. The survey detected residual remains of features clearly associated with a former explosive factory. Other linear and discrete anomalies potentially represent further industrial remains. It is likely that most (if not all) strong variation represents modern and recent ferrousrich materials/objects, including debris deposited along former and current field boundaries; iron objects and fragments of ceramic materials contained within the plough soil; pylons and electricity poles and residual remains of the explosives facility. Distinct, albeit magnetically weak, zones of variation in the south-eastern part of the site reflect pockets of ferrous-rich alluvial deposits |
