SNN111831 - Geophysical Survey Report: Rail Central, Milton Malsor, Northamptonshire

A detailed gradiometery survey was conducted over approximately 237 hectares of mixed arable and pastoral farmland. No evidence of previously recorded cropmark sites has been detected, however two areas of later prehistoric / Romano-British settlement have been identified. Further possible archaeological anomalies may be associated with the settlement activity, or further outlying areas of occupation, though their exact origin cannot be determined with confidence. Evidence of ridge and furrow cultivation, modern ploughing, former field boundaries, tracks, former barns and ponds indicate that the site has an agricultural past. The remaining responses include evidence of former sand pits, magnetic debris, land drains, underground services and disturbance from nearby ferrous objects.
