Abstract: |
The magnetic response across the site was low. The 'interference' of non-archaeological anomalies common to woodland environments inevitably reduced the quality of the data collected but did not adversely affect the analysis. A number of potential archaeological structures were identified on the known earthworks in the north-east, south-east, south-west and north-west sections of the site along with a few potential archaeological structures not associated with recorded earthworks, including a potential platform and an associated structure. Three possible in situ heating events were identified. Evidence was found for earlier phases of archaeological structures beneath the extant south-eastern earthworks along with evidence for the re-use of earlier earthworks as charcoal production areas. Some evidence for remnant ploughing was recorded in the north-western quadrant of the hillfort. [Au] |
