Full Description

The eastern area of earth-resistance survey is characterised by a number of readily discernable anomalies.

Approximately 4m from the western edge of the survey area is a 30m by 7, north-south aligned 'Y-shaped' high-resistance anomaly which intersects the edges of the survey area at both its northern and southern extents.

Approximately 8m to the east of this feature and parallel to its eastern bifurcation, is a c. 30m-long linear, high-resistance anomaly.

Approximately 2.5m to the east of the northern end of this feature is a high-resistance macula covering c. 33m2.

Immediately to the south of this feature is a c. 9.5m-long, east-west orientated, low-resistance anomaly.

Approximately 8m to the south od this feature is an irregular 'teardrop-shaped' high-resistance anomaly, measuring c. 18.5m by 11m.

Approximately 10.5m to the east of the third featuree is a north-south orientated linear high-resistance anomaly which intersects the northern edge of the area surveyed.

Features appear to suggest the possible presence of some form of land divisions, or possible water management system
