Abstract/Summary
An initial magnetometer scan of c.40ha of the development area located a number of magnetic anomalies which were subsequently investigated by detailed gradiometer survey. The detailed survey was conducted in 12 separate areas totalling 12.5ha. An extensive settlement complex, of presumed Iron Age to early Roman date, was found near the northwest corner of the site. This was overlain by anomalies representing post medieval agriultural features, including a barn, a trackway and several field boundaries. Apart from medieval ridge and furrow cultivation, no further significant archaeological remains were found elsewhere at the site.
