Description
{1} A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across c30ha. Anomalies of probable and possible archaeological origin have been identified across a large portion of the survey area and have been interpreted as multiple settlement complexes with possibly associated field systems of possible Late Prehistoric to Romano-British date. Various different forms of enclosures were identified, including a potential pentagonal enclosure and multiple possible roundhouses.
