Abstract/Summary

A detailed gradiometry survey was conducted over approximately 145.5 hectares of arable land. The survey has identified seven areas of enclosures and pits related to former settlement activity, areas of ridge and furrow cultivation, former field boundaries and an area of scattered magnetic debris that relates to an enclosure removed circa 1966. A number of possible archaeological anomalies have been identified; however it is not possible to determine their origin with any degree of confidence. The remaining anomalies are of modern or geological origin. The modern anomalies relate to former field boundaries, agricultural activity, underground services, scattered magnetic debris, ferrous objects and fencing.
