Summary

A geophysical survey undertaken in 2009 revealed no evidence for archaeologically-significant remains. The only response of note was a linear band of anomalies that almost certainly marks the line of a post-medieval field boundary. It should though be noted that the geology of this area is known to create conditions that are not particularly conducive to this kind of survey.

Map

May-June 2009. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of proposed development area (Fields 4 and 14-16).
No potentially archaeologically-significant anomalies were identified in these four fields.
An east-to-west aligned line of magnetic dipoles crossing the middle of the larger, western field almost certainly marks the line of a post-medieval field boundary. This is a continuation of a feature observed in the field to the west (NHER 64518). A linear anomaly running parallel to the southern boundary of this field is interpreted as the modern plough headland.
Although a number of discrete positive anomalies were also identified these are all though to be the result of modern structures or debris.
There was no evidence for surviving sub-surface remains associated with the possible ring-ditch visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs at TG 1755 0575. A discrete positive anomaly that appears at this location was the result of a steel trough.
