Abstract: |
Magnetometer survey with cart-mounted sensors (combination of hand-pushed and vehicle-towed configurations). The survey identified abundant archaeological remains, mostly located towards the centre of the survey area. Two ring ditches were possibly Neolithic to Bronze Age in date, whilst a flint axe found by a member of the survey team was more conclusively Neolithic. An expansive group of irregularly shaped enclosures, with associated roundhouses, indicated probable Iron Age to Roman settlement; part of a possible trackway and field system might also have been of this date. A third set of remains appeared to represent an abandoned part of the medieval or early postmedieval village. Other detected features included ridge and furrow, historic field boundaries and debris from modern quarry tramways. |
