Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometry survey was carried out over approximately 6.1 hectares of arable farmland. No features of probable archaeological have been identified, however a single positive linear anomaly, and a series of negative linear anomalies may be of archaeological origin. Evidence of ridge and furrow cultivation and a former field boundary indicate that the site has been used for agricultural purposes since the medieval period. A large area of enhanced magnetic response and associated linear anomalies are likely to be natural and relate to the underlying slate geology. Two discrete areas of magnetic disturbance are of unknown origin, while the remaining features are modern. The modern anomalies include services, scattered magnetic debris, and disturbance from nearby ferrous objects. |
