NHER 69227 (Monument record) - Post-medieval field boundaries and undated possible ditches

August 2024. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of proposed development site.
This survey identified little of obvious archaeological interest. Although a series of north-to-south and east-to-west aligned linear anomalies were recorded, the majority correspond with former field boundaries depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition Six-inch map (S1) and it is likely that most of the others represent earlier elements of the same field system. The one possible exception is a short north-north-east to south-south-west aligned linear anomaly close to the western edge of site.
A north-east to south-west aligned linear anomaly in the south-west part of the site represents an underground power cable.
Extensive areas of magnetic disturbance in the southern half of the site are the result of relatively recent activity – considerable disturbance being visible on aerial imagery from 1999.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
