NHER 65080 (Monument record) - Undated possible ditch

August 2018. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of proposed development site (Area 3 and 4).
The one potentially archaeologically-significant response was a short, north-east to south-west aligned linear anomaly at the eastern edge of the northern area (Area 3). This potentially related to a previously identified cropmark, although there was no sign of any remains associated with the numerous other similarly aligned and perpendicular cropmarks mapped in these fields (part of a group of potentially Roman features recorded as NHER 18236).
Much of the area to the south of the track (Area 4) was covered bv magnetic disturbance likely to have resulted from modern activity on the site. Large amorphous responses in the northern area are likely to represent changes in the underlying natural geology.
Scattered discrete ferrous anomalies are likely to have been caused by modern debris in the topsoil.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
