Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over approximately 27.5 hectares of mixed arable farmland and grassland. An area of later prehistoric or Romano-British settlement has been identified. A number of linear and curvilinear anomalies may relate to small enclosures, while further linear anomalies are representative of a field system. Small discrete anomalies, indicative of backfilled pits, provide further evidence of settlement on the site. Small, subcircular anomalies are likely to be archaeological, and may relate to former hut circles, though their exact origin is uncertain. Further linear anomalies across the site may be related to an early field system or additional areas of settlement activity, though the exact origin of these features cannot be determined with confidence. A number of discrete areas of moderate strength may be archaeological in origin, though their exact origin is uncertain and they may relate to the underlying geology. Former field boundaries, ridge and furrow cultivation and evidence of modern ploughing indicate the site has been used for agricultural purposes since the medieval period. The remaining features are natural or modern in origin and include areas of natural magnetic variation, underground services, made ground, magnetic disturbance from nearby ferrous objects, and magnetic spikes which are likely to be modern rubbish. |
