Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over approximately 4.9 hectares and an earth resistance survey was conducted over approximately 4.2 hectares of pasture. A triple-ditched enclosure, associated backfilled pits and rectilinear enclosure have been identified, and relate to the Scheduled Monument of an Iron Age enclosure and Roman marching camp. Additional linear anomalies and former pits provide further evidence of settlement activity on the site. Former field boundaries, ridge and furrow and evidence of modern ploughing suggest a more recent agricultural past. The remaining features are natural or modern in origin and include areas of natural magnetic variation, disturbance from nearby ferrous objects and magnetic spikes that are likely to be modern rubbish. The majority of the archaeology is likely to be well preserved with some minimal damage in isolated locations. |
