Abstract: |
The magnetometer (gradiometer) survey was undertaken using a dual-sensor Bartington Instrument’s GRAD601-2 gradiometer. The thirty-metre grids were walked in a clockwise, north-south, “zig-zag” pattern with traverses one metre apart and readings taken four times a metre along each traverse. The magnetometer was set to a scale of 100nT with a sensitivity of 0.1 nT. It was reset to zero periodically using the same zero location. An extensive survey was undertaken south and south-east of the church. There are a series of linear, low depressions and crests running from the south-west to the north-east. These features do not appear to be ridge-and-furrow as they are much wider than the ridge-and-furrow further south. It is possible they represent post-medieval activity.
These linear features were detected in the geophysical survey but there was no positive identification of medieval settlement in the form of building foundations or property boundaries. |
