Description

{1} Nine discrete anomalies were located during an initial geophysical scan of the site, three each in Fields 1,2 and 3. These fitted the profile of buried pits or erratic geological features. The wide area scanning was followed up with detailed geophysical survey. Sample detailed survey over the scanned anomalies detected subtle variation in the local geology in Field 1, whereas in Field 2 possible glacial fissuring was identified. A single potential archaeological linear ditch was located in the north of Field 2.
