Abstract: |
A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over approximately 66 hectares of arable land. Two areas of settlement activity, comprising ditches, rectilinear enclosures and backfilled pits of likely late prehistoric origin have been detected. Further linear anomalies may be associated with the settlement activity, though the spread of green waste across the area makes further interpretation difficult. Evidence of ridge and furrow, modern ploughing and former field boundaries suggest the site has a largely agricultural past. The remaining features are modern, and include large areas of debris associated with green waste fertiliser, an area of made ground, an underground service and disturbance from nearby ferrous metal objects, such as fences. |
