Description
A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over 25 hectares of agricultural land. A wide ranging variety of both archaeological and other features were identified. In addition, large areas of modern agriculture (ploughing) cover the majority of the survey area, and modern services, areas of magnetic disturbance and areas of natural, geological variation were also present. A 2 ha targeted eath resistance survey was also carried out over areas where archaeology was identified in the magnetic survey results. These surveys only indicated modern ploughing and the presence of amorphous areas of high resistance which are difficult to interpret (S1).
