Author/Originator
Date/Year 2017

Abstract/Summary

A detailed magnetometer survey was conducted over approximately 64ha of arable farmland and grassland. Two areas of probable later prehistoric settlement activity have been detected, along with further possible evidence of industrial activity. Former field boundaries, ridge and furrow and evidence of modern ploughing indicate that the site has a largely agricultural past. The remaining features include areas of magnetic debris, trackways, land drains, underground services and areas of natural magnetic variation.
