ENN104432 - DIRFT South East, 2003 (Geophysical survey)

Study area: 2.2ha. The detailed survey recorded numerous pit-type anomalies in the northern field. Their magnitude indicated significant magnetic enhancement of the soils such as would be produced by intensive settlement activity. Additionally, a few anomalies were identified which suggested burnt/fired remains. However, there was no clear evidence for trackways, enclosures and other larger settlement features which could place the pits in a wider archaeological context. It was possible that the pit-type anomalies represented the only surviving detectable remains of un-enclosed settlement, but this interpretation was inconclusive. [Information from BIAB database]
