Abstract: |
A geophysical survey was undertaken in advance of the preparation of land for Self-Build housing plots. Detailed gradiometer survey located numerous linear features, effectively clarifying the spatial character of Iron Age and Romano-British features that had been encountered to some degree during the trial trenching. These included a large rectilinear enclosure which was entirely missed by the trenches. The results showed what was understood to be the remains of Iron Age and Romano-British settlements (ditches and pits). These were super-imposed by pre-enclosure agricultural boundaries and a possible associated trackway or headland. The entire spatial extent of this focus of settlement activity could not be firmly established due to magnetic constraints caused by the newly sited paths and roadways. A number of weaker anomalies were also detected but the combined affect of post-medieval farming activities and recent ground disturbance confused their interpretation. [Au(adp)] |
