Summary

A geophysical survey of this site in 2014 had largely negative results, with only a single discrete anomaly identified as potentially archaeologically significant. Although it was felt that ground conditions had been favourable for a magnetometer survey it should be noted that the subsequent trial trenching at three of the sites examined elsewhere recorded a range of features that the geophysical survey had failed to identify.

April 2014. Geophysical Survey.
Geophysical survey of part of large proposed development area (Field 4).
Only a single discrete anomaly was identified as potentially archaeological significant.
An east-to-west aligned band of small distinct magnetic anomalies is thought to have been caused by variations in the underlying natural geology. Numerous other, weaker discrete anomalies probably represent naturally silted hollows or variations in topsoil depth.
Information from report uploaded to OASIS. HER copy awaited.
