Description
Geophysical survey following DBA.
Geophysical survey demonstrated the presence of potential buried archaeological
features.
These comprised:
• A large, possibly Romano-British enclosure.
• A small enclosure possibly related to the Roman road.
• Evidence of agricultural activity in Field 1.
• Evidence for a possible trackway in the western part of Field 1.
• Evidence for past human activity in the form of pits and ditches in Field 2.
The uneven distribution of geophysical anomalies across the areas surveyed should
probably be seen as a result of the changing geological background and not necessarily
representative of a scarcity of archaeological features in those areas where geophysical
anomalies were fewer.
