NHER 60688 (Monument record) - Former quarry pit and possible finds scatter

April 2013. Geophysical Survey.
A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out over two small fields in advance of proposed development.
An area of intense magnetic disturbance was located in the south-western corner of the western field. This coincides with a small quarry pit or former pond depicted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey Map (S1). The nature of the magnetic responses indicates that the back-fill of this feature contains a large quantity of ferrous or ceramic debris.
A further area of magnetic disturbance to the north-west of the former pit may represent a scatter of ferrous or ceramic debris in the topsoil, but no evidence of this was observed on the field surface during the survey. A small quantity of Roman pottery and medieval and post medieval objects has previously been recovered from this field (see NHER 51210).
No anomalies of possible archaeological origin were detected within the eastern field.
See report (S2) for further information.

Also see NHER 60442 for finds recovered from a spoil heap located at [2]. The spoil came from a building site located to the north and south of this point and including this site.
