Description

Detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey was conducted over c.7ha of land in a single agricultural field over the footprint of a proposed agricultural reservoir. The background magnetic susceptibility signature was found to be relatively low allowing the wide range of anomalies recorded (many of which have a high archaeological potential) to be prospected with good clarity. Positive parallel and perpendicular linear anomalies interpreted as rectangular subdivided enclosures were recorded in close proximity to positive discrete anomalies (interpreted as potential rubbish pits) and areas of magnetic disturbance that may prove to be hearths, kilns, burnt pits or furnaces. The full range of anomaly types should be targeted to investigate the interpretations given within this report, with particular attention given to those with an archaeological derivation (S1).
