NHER 69515 (Monument record) - Post-medieval or earlier trackway and undated ditch

February 2016. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of site on proposed route of Poringland to Whitlingham Rising Main pipeline (Field 3).
This survey identified a number of linear anomalies, including two adjacent north-north-east to south-south-west aligned responses in the central part of the field that correspond with a trackway shown on the Kirby Bedon tithe map (S1), the former position of which is marked by a line of tree on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map (S2). A number of other linear anomalies were recorded, included a north-to-south aligned response to the east of the trackway likely to represent an infilled boundary ditch of uncertain age. A north-north-east to south-south-west aligned anomaly was also noted close to the western edge of the field but is much weaker and potentially geological in origin. A single large discrete anomaly is also thought to have probably been caused by a geological feature of some kind.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
