Description
{1} Two-phased survey encompassing geophysical reconnaissance by gradiometer ‘scanning’, followed by detailed magnetometer survey. The reconnaissance covered an area of about 29ha located mainly around the proposed turbine locations, but extending more widely on the western side of the site where the DBA had suggested archaeological features to be present. The detailed magnetometer survey was undertaken over 6.8ha, examining both magnetic anomalies and apparently blank areas. One of the survey areas revealed a complex of positive magnetic anomalies, the majority of which were linear or curvi-linear in shape and are likely to reflect buried ditches of Iron Age or Roman date.
