NHER 68429 (Monument record) - Undated enclosure and other possible linear and discrete features

March 2021. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of part of large proposed development site (Area 2).
The most notable responses are adjoining north-east to south-west and north-west to south-east aligned weak linear anomalies likely to represent ditches forming two sides of a rectilinear enclosure. A number of more fragmentary, irregular linear anomalies may also represent ditches, although it is equally possible they were caused by variations in the underlying geology. Several widely dispersed strong discrete anomalies are regarded as being of uncertain origin and therefore may also represent archaeologically-significant remains.
A series of much larger discrete anomalies are probably infilled extraction pits – a number of which are clustered in the southernmost part of the field, close to where a former pit is marked on the Ordnance Survey First Edition Six-inch map (S1).
Scattered discrete dipolar anomalies were probable caused by metal objects on or close to the surface – most likely modern debris.
