In the centre of the site, within the area defined by features there are a large number of
curvilinear and linear positive features as well as some amorphous positive anomalies. These
features produced readings of at least 5 nT/m, with some as high as 10 to 12 nT/m. These likely
represent ditches and pits potentially relating to settlement activity. The geophysical survey has identified a complex of features relating to previous anthropogenic activity. The main area of interest lies in the centre of the site, where there are a complicated array of positive linear and curvilinear features that represent a series of enclosures, potentially of more than one phase.There are a number of other complex linear features to the south and southwest of the main group that produced weaker readings than the central complex, suggesting that these anomalies may be away from the focus of activity and perhaps represent agricultural boundaries or stock enclosures.
