Description

The magnetometer survey has recorded numerous magnetic responses that have been interpreted as being of archaeological interest, though the possibility exists that they are associated with a WWII camp. Ditch and pit-like anomalies have been assigned to the categories of probable and possible archaeology depending upon their magnetic strengths and / or their correlation with heritage assets recorded in the HER. The locations of two possible enclosures / building platforms have been plotted in the data. Many of the responses extend beyond the limits of the survey. Linear anomalies and trends, pit-like responses and zones of increased magnetic response have been assigned to the category of uncertain. It has been difficult to interpret the responses with confidence, they could be archaeological, related to a reported WWII camp or even be natural in origin. The route of a former field boundary has been marked along with a service pipe. Information from OASIS online form.
