Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over approximately 6.34 hectares of grassland. An area of prehistoric or Romano-British settlement activity has been identified, and is made up of a number of small enclosures, linear features and backfilled pits. A small oval-shaped enclosure may be associated with the settlement, though its exact origin cannot be determined with confidence. Evidence of ridge and furrow supports information from the desk-based assessment of the site forming part of the agricultural hinterland of Benson from the medieval period onwards. The remaining features are modern and include scattered magnetic debris, underground services and magnetic disturbance from nearby ferrous objects. |
