Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over approximately 3.1 hectares of grassland. The survey has not identified any anomalies of probable archaeological origin. A small number of possible bank features may be of archaeological origin, however a post-medieval agricultural or natural origin would be more likely. Areas of ridge and furrow cultivation and former field boundaries suggest that the site has been used for agricultural purposes since the medieval period. The remaining anomalies are modern in origin, relating to scattered magnetic debris, ferrous objects, and fencing. |
