Discontinuous positive linear anomalies have been identified on the top of a slope in the southeast corner of Area 9. The anomalies exhibit positive magnetic signals of varying strengths and are indicative of ditches infilled with an enhanced backfill, caused by settlement activity. The anomalies mainly occur on a northeast to southwest orientation, their alignment and form are similar to cropmarks identified as Romano-British settlement activity to the south of the survey area. These anomalies intersect to form sub-rectangular enclosures, or possible settlement activity. Excavation and archaeological investigations nearby found that features identified from cropmarks were heavily eroded or ploughed out by recent agricultural activity, this seems to be the case with where the weak, more ephemeral nature of the anomalies has made a more specific interpretation difficult.

Contained within the probable enclosures at, broader, sinuous curvilinear anomalies have been identified. Their proximity to makes an archaeological origin likely, yet the anomalies share a similar pattern to the natural variation detected across the site and could possibly relate to the local watercourse. Whilst the anomalies could relate to a continuation of, or additional, natural features;their likely potential to contain archaeological material is indicated by the possible archaeology classification.

In the southern part of Area 3, weak linear anomalies have been identified following two orientations . The anomalies aligned east-west may relate to similarly located linear features identified on aerial photographs. They appear to form a rectilinear arrangement suggestive of enclosures, though the anomalies share a similar magnetic strength and linearity with the nearby land drains. This could indicate that the anomalies relate instead to agricultural rather than archaeological activity. (1)
