Full Description

September-October 2019. Geophysical Survey.

Although two linear anomalies were identified both clearly correspond with former field boundaries marked on the Wymondham tithe map of 1839 (S1).
A strong discrete area of ferrous disturbance coincides with a former pond visible on the Ordnance Survey Six-inch First Edition map (S2).
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
