Abstract: |
The results of the geophysical survey indicated that traces of internal features survived within the Countess Close moated enclosure and annex, in the form of ditches, rubble spreads and possible wall footings. The levelled bank and ditch on the south side was detected as an increased thickness of magnetic material, while the southern boundary of the annex was seen as a distinct resistivity anomaly. In the adjoining field to the south the survey revealed a set of rectangular ditched enclosures of a style consistent with a Roman linear settlement flanking a road. A number of intense magnetic dipoles in this area suggested that kilns, hearths or similar fired structures may have survived in association with this settlement. [Au(abr)] |
