Full Description
The proposed location of the former Toton Manor Farm demonstrated a good response to the gradiometer survey and although noisy, this area revealed traces of magnetically positive anomalies which might indicate the survival of some parts of the structure in the sub-surface. It is also possible that anomalies to the west of these may represent the extension of buildings into this area.
Adjacent to the northwestern edge of the tennis courts is a large area (c. 825m2) of dipolar noise, represented by three dipolar anomalies, which is consistent with location of
the still-extant platform on which the buildings of Manor Farm once stood. Additionally, within this area of the site are a group of small but strong linear and rectilinear positive anomalies which define a series of features 11m x 6m.
Approximately 10m to the north of this group are a linear series of 7 discrete positive anomalies, running northeast–southwest and which appear to define the northwestern
extent of the magnetically noisy area. At the northestern terminus of this line of anomalies is a group of six positive maculae which define a sub-rectangular area of approximately 4m x 3m on the same orientation. Approximately 5m to the southeast of this group of anomalies are a pair of linear, positive anomalies which run along the same alignment for c. 8m in a northeast–southwest direction and again, appear to define the extent of the area of dipolar magnetic noise.
