Description

The whole of the area (c.8ha) was rapidly scanned (by magnetometer). Initially the traverse interval was c. 40m, although this decreased to c.5m as areas of possible archaeological interest were identified. The traverses were surveyed both E-W and N-S. The scanning revealed few anomalies. Those that were indicated are in the S part of the area of interest. The three areas of anomalous readings (were) investigated in detail, two in the main field (above grid ref) and the third in the field to the E. (1) See E9169 for fieldwalking
