Abstract: |
Detailed magnetometry was carried out using a hand-pushed cart based system using 5 sensors spaced 0.5m apart over 5ha ahead of tree planting. The results indicate the presence of a ring-shaped feature at the south western end of the site which appears to have an association with highly magnetic material, possibly burning. It also appears to be surrounded to the north and east by a linear ditch. A number of pit-like features can also be seen in the vicinity, but they lack a coherent pattern or morphology. The site also contains evidence for ridge and furrow, land drainage and a water pipe. |
