Abstract/Summary

A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over approximately 28 hectares of arable farmland. Linear and curvilinear anomalies and associated pits are related to past settlement activity while historic field boundaries and evidence of ridge and furrow indicate an agricultural past. A number of features of possible archaeological origin may also be natural or agricultural. The remaining features are modern or natural in origin and include areas of natural pitting, evidence for modern agriculture, land drains, services, disturbance from nearby ferrous objects and magnetic spikes that are likely to be modern rubbish.
