Description

{1} Following a general survey of the entire application-site using a fluxgate-gradiometer, an area of c 0.4 ha was surveyed in detail at the western end of the land-parcel beside Watling Street. Despite a possible pattern of buildings and boundaries being identified, there was no indication of the existence of special features such as kilns or other industrial structures which might be denoted by a major anomaly.
