Description
The site lies 180m south of the Teversal cricket club . The total area of the site is 5.2ha, encompassing two fields. The site is bounded by the river Meden to the south, the Teversal cricket club to the north and a housing estate to the west, off Fackley road.
A magnetic gradiometry survey was carried out with a Bartington Grad 601-2 fluxgate magnetometer. The fields were divided into 40m2 grids using a survey grade GPS and each grid was walked systematically in a zigzag pattern, taking readings every 0.25m in traverses 1m apart.
The survey has identified several anomalies, most of which are thought to be related to agricultural activity and others related to the modern housing nearby. The bipolar activity recorded could mask weaker archaeological anomalies, but since this is a relatively small portion of the survey, it is reasonable to conclude no obvious archaeological features have been captured in the data.
