Description
{1} 26.9ha of detailed survey was conducted in sixteen locations, positioned throughout the development area so as to investigate scanned anomalies, along with areas with quiet magnetic backgrounds. In addition to this a further 3.8ha of detailed survey had previously been conducted by Durham University within the site. The significant features of archaeological interest are located in the north-eastern region of the site. The features in these areas indicate the presence of enclosures and therefore a possible settlement, which may continue to the east, outside of the area surveyed for this report. Several complexes of enclosures and field systems have been identified, along with a number of associated anomalies.
