Description

Magnetometry and earth resistance survey were undertaken on a site which previously featured crop marks suggestive of Iron Age settlement enclosures. The survey results confirmed the presence of a large double-bounded enclosure containing round-house ring-ditches, along with associated linear boundaries and another round-house ring-ditch in the immediately surrounding landscape. A second enclosure was also detected, but its date and characteristics were not readily determined.
