Full Description
{1} Possible Romano-British building (Morphed Aerial Archaeology Interpretation). Crop/soilmark: Unconfirmed overlay.
{2} The walls of a building lying on the western side of the main street in the northern part of the town exhibit a particularly intense positive magnetic signature (Fig 4, B1). It is probable that this represents a building which burnt down, with the scorching of its stone walls producing the particularly strong magnetic enhancement. A few other walls,
including a small rectangular structure in a row of buildings to the west of the main street and two longer lengths of boundary wall in the northern part of the town, appear to have similar magnetic enhancement (Fig 4, fired/burnt).
