Monument record 849/0/9 - Geological features, originally thought to represent an enclosure

Geophysical survey identified anomalies of potential archaeological oigin. However, subsequent trial trench evaluation showed that they were of geological origin.

{1} A right-angled linear anomaly, likely to represent the corner of a ditch that may form part of a rectilinear enclosure. At the time of the survey, the remainder of the field had not been harvested and was unsurveyable, thus the true nature of the anomaly cannot be determined.

{2} No archaeological deposits or artefacts were encountered - all of the geophysical anomalies were shown to relate to modern structures or geological features.
