Description

Additional detailed geophysical survey, carried out on 6ha of land earmarked for permanent soil disposal, resulted in the discovery of a number of linear features, two rectangular enclosures, a possible circular enclosure and other anomalies of possible archaeological interest. In conjunction with the results of the earlier trial trench evaluation, it is suggested that these features represent fragments of a Roman agricultural landscape with associated activity which included iron smelting and pottery production.
