Description
{1} One broad positive linear anomaly bisects the field from north-west to south east and a small number of narrower, more irregular linear anomalies occur elsewhere. Such anomalies frequently indicate the lines of backfilled ditches, but in this particular case the trenching results showed that they related to natural fissures and junctions between different geological strata. Likewise, a number of small discrete positive anomalies which could, in principle, have represented backfilled pits, turned out to have natural or indeterminate origins.
