Abstract: |
An earth resistance survey was conducted over approximately 3.1 hectares of agricultural land. The survey has identified evidence of robber trenches, a pit, and demolition debris in the centre of the survey area, which correspond with an area identified as being part of a Roman villa complex by previous survey and trenching. Two anomalies characterised as being possible archaeology suggest evidence of further settlement activity, however these could equally relate to more modern agricultural activity, or be natural features. The other anomalies detected relate to post-medieval field boundaries seen on mapping and in the evaluation trenching of the site, and an area of natural variation. |
