Abstract: |
The differences in magnetic responses across the Site were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible buried archaeology and background magnetic responses. Eight magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential buried archaeology and all were located in the north-western field. Of these, two groups, and possibly a third group, coincide with and likely represent, a field boundary recorded on historic maps. The pattern of one of these suggests that the historic field boundary may have followed the course of an earlier feature such as a ditch, lynchet or earthen bank. The remaining groups have characteristics typical of anomalies representing linear archaeological deposits such as fragments of enclosure and/or field boundaries although three of them may represent field drains. |
