Summary

Former field boundaries visible on 19th century mapping

Map

Type and Period (1)

Full Description

{1} Three linear anomalies at the southern end of the survey area correspond to former field boundaries depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey map and a fourth corresponds to a boundary on the 1849 estate map (Walker 2014, fig 13). Two of these are narrow linear anomies, representing ditches, but the other two are diffuse linear clusters of small magnetic dipoles and monopoles (‘magnetic noise’) indicating concentrations of magnetic debris (scrap metal, brick rubble, etc) accumulated at the field margins through dumping and field clearance.
