Abstract: |
The geophysical survey successfully covered the areas of the proposed development site that are not wooded and located a range of magnetic anomalies. Across the whole field were several anomalies which appear to represent an Iron Age settlement, complete with roundhouses, enclosures and drove ways, with the main cluster appearing towards the northern edge of the site?s centre. Also recorded were several anomalies which reflect previous agricultural use of the site as well as modern services. A small number of ferrous objects were located and a small amount of magnetic disturbance was recorded along the eastern and southern edges of the field, probably as a result of ferrous fencing. |
