Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over approximately 19 hectares of agricultural land. A number of features of archaeological interest have been identified within the survey area. These include a concentrated area of ditches, enclosures, and pitting possibly related to historic settlement activity. Extensive ridge-and-furrow is also present across the site. Possible footpaths linked to features on historic mapping have also been identified. Other anomalies identified are likely modern or natural in origin including ploughing, land drains, ferrous objects in the topsoil and magnetic disturbance relating to field boundaries and fences. |
