Description

{1} Geophysical survey was conducted over two detached blocks of land of c1.5ha comprising a hay meadow and pasture. The survey detected slight responses apparently associated with the canalised leat at the site. This leat is fed by a series of ponds which may have had a medieval origin. The leat may have served a mill. Medieval ridge and furrow was detected in the second field.
