Abstract:
A geophysical survey, comprising detailed magnetometry over 13ha was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd using a hand-pushed, cart-based system of 5 sensors mounted 0.5m apart. The geophysical survey located a number of anomalies including a sub-circular double-ditched enclosure with an associated internal bank and a number of internal pits and a south east facing entrance which may be aligned on a ring ditch, relating to a round barrow, situated 140m down slope to the south east. A number of rectilinear anomalies have been located along the south western side of the site and there could be an association with the movement of animals within and to and from them indicating that they may relate to stock enclosures. A number of pits and other linear and curvilinear anomalies have also been located in the vicinity and they could indicate occupation. Elsewhere within the site there are a number of linear responses that are likely to be associated with former field boundaries indicating a field system that generally pre-dates the existing or formerly mapped field boundaries.
