Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over approximately 3.9 hectares of grassland. The survey has identified an area of settlement comprising rectilinear and sub-circular enclosures in the south of the site, possibly Roman in age, with a further enclosure or field boundary present in the north. A number of possible archaeological anomalies have been identified, which may be further evidence of enclosures or field boundaries, but could equally relate to more modern agricultural activity and natural pitting. Areas of ridge and furrow cultivation and a post-medieval field boundary have also been detected. The remaining anomalies are of natural or modern origin, relating to a former pond, areas of scattered magnetic debris, ferrous objects and fencing. |
