Abstract/Summary
CLASP conducted a geophysical (fluxgate gradiometer) survey of the eastern edges of two fields 1km South of the Romano-British Posting Station of Bannaventa. The fields are part of the immediate hinterland to the south of the site, lying to the west of, and adjacent to, Watling St, the present A5; (centred on OS 461570 263240). The work was undertaken in 2016 and the investigated area covered approximately 1.5 hectares. This area occupies a significant position in the local landscape potentially containing the most southerly archaeological geophysical anomalies associated with the archaeology of the settlement. The fieldwork was also part of a more extensive larger landscape survey intended to characterise and understand the overall layout of Bannaventa and the surrounding locality. A range of anomalies was located and these include some linear magnetic features and enclosure ditches together with medieval ridge and furrow.
