Full Description
{1}A detailed magnetometer survey was conducted over approximately 6.8ha of land off Brick kiln road. Concentration of ditch-type responses, linear trends and small pit-like anomalies are indicative of an area former settlement activity covering of at least 1.6ha. The responses comprise adjoining rectilinear enclosures on an approximate northwest-southeast alignment, with some internal divisions and possible annexed enclosures also visible. Parallel ditch-type responses to the north of the 'main' enclosures could represent a trackway. Numerous small discrete positive anomalies have been identified the strongest of which are located within the rectilinear enclosures and are likely to be a result of former rubbish, storage or post pits.
