Abstract:
This report presents the results of an archaeological earth resistance survey at the above site. It has been prepared for NDAS as part of a research project assessing the southern extension of the hillfort. One of the reasons behind the commissioning of the report are crop marks of a group of banks and ditches situated to the south of the hillfort. These suggest that the hillfort extends into the area to the south of the hillfort and the A39. Unlike the extant hillfort, this southern area is not scheduled. The resistance responses across the survey area were sufficient to be able to differentiate between anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background resistance responses. Twenty-six resistance anomaly groups were mapped as representing possible archaeological deposits or features. One of these anomaly groups represents a former field boundary recorded on historic maps. Fourteen of the groups, in four sets, may represent former curvilinear, relatively stony banks with a build-up of earthen material on the sides, or possibly four ditch-bank-ditch features. There may be a fifth such group composed of two anomaly groups representing relatively stony deposits only. One group may represent a ditch-flanked track. Four groups may represent archaeological deposits such as former field and enclosure ditches and banks. A further four groups may represent archaeological deposits but recent origins cannot be ruled out.
