Full Description
January-May 2010. Geophysical survey.
Magnetometer survey of entire field (Area 4).
An area of weak magnetic noise at the southern edge of the field is adjacent to the site of a post-medieval kiln (NHER 14002) and therefore may represent a spread of associated ceramic debris or burnt soil.
A curving linear anomaly associated with several strong ferrous anomalies is believed to represent a disused pipe.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).

August-September 2010. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of part of large proposed development area (Trenches 7-8).
The two trenches excavated in this field revealed three ditches of unknown date. No datable material was recovered from any of the ditches and it is not clear whether these are associated with the Iron Age and Roman temple site (NHER 5853) to the south.
See report (S3) for further details.
