Full Description

July 2019. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of proposed quarry extension.
Although numerous discrete anomalies were identified these were mostly background variations of probable natural origin. A small number of slightly stronger and/or more clearly defined anomalies do however potentially represent infilled pit-type features. There was however no obvious pattern to these anomalies, suggesting they are unlikely to represent a significant archaeological site.
No linear anomalies were identified.
The remaining discrete anomalies were probably caused by ferrous objects in the plough soil, most likely modern debris.
See report (S2) for further details.
