Map

September 2013. Geophysical Survey.
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out on a small parcel of land prior to development. No anomalies of obvious archaeological origin were recorded.
One linear trend oriented north-west to south-east was identified as a former field boundary which was still in use as late as 1946 (S1) but had been removed by 1988 (S2).
All other magnetic anomalies within the collected data were interpreted as the result of geological variation and modern agricultural activity.
See report (S3) for further information.
