Abstract: |
The largest survey area, which was within a grass field in the centre Great Easton, produced the most informative data set collected during this project. Both magnetic and resistance measurements were made and the interpretation of the results suggested that a low concentration of potential archaeological anomalies were present. On excavation the anomalies were found to relate to a ditch, a cobbled surface and a recent wall. There was also evidence for the possible presence of pits and ridge and furrow. The resistance survey in the gardens of Manor Farm House was undertaken to establish the presence, or otherwise, of an earlier building. However, the survey revealed few anomalies of archaeological interest. The majority of these have been attributed to landscaping or agricultural / gardening activities. While there is no evidence for any buried structures within the data, it is not possible to rule out an earlier building beneath the present house. The final survey area, near to Rectory Farm, revealed a group of high resistance anomalies of unknown origin. |
