Description

{1} The geophysical survey identified a pair of Iron Age or Roman enclosures with associated roundhouses and other remains, and also a length of prehistoric pit alignment. The latter feature appears to be a continuation of an alignment previously identified to the north of the survey area. The survey also detected magnetic anomalies arising from medieval ridge and furrow earthworks.
