Full Description
Along the eastern edge of the site there are small areas of magnetic noise, -20 to 20 nT/m with some higher spikes. The ditch along the eastern field boundary had recently been cleaned out and material from this was lying within the survey area and may contribute to this noise, along with possible build-up of modern waste along the field edge.
The positive linear feature, 1 to 2 nT/m, corresponds with a cropmark seen on historic images on Google Earth, and represents a former trackway identified on historic mapping.
The parallel positive linear features running northwest – southeast, 2 to 3 nT/m, may represent drainage features or former field boundaries which predate 19th century historic mapping. The linear feature may have changed to a south-southeastern direction at its southern end.
The small amorphous positive feature, 8 nT/m, could represent a pit, soil-filled hollow or
former pond.
