Full Description
Near the north-western corner of the survey area there is a linear anomaly, aligned south-west to north-east, which has discrete points of magnetic enhancement along its length. Both the form and position of this anomaly suggest that it may represent a continuation of the late Bronze Age to early Iron Age pit alignment which was detected c 300m to the north during a geophysical survey of the Wootton Fields Roman villa site (7150/0/6).
