October 2021. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of part of large proposed development area (Area 16).
This survey identified two parallel north-east to south-west aligned linear anomalies, both of which correspond with cropmarks visible on aerial photographs (part of a group of probable post-medieval field boundaries recorded as NHER 50819). The line of the southernmost ditch is continued to the west by a former field boundary depicted on the Salhouse tithe map (S2).
There was no evidence for surviving remains associated with a number of other, more fragmentary cropmarks mapped in this field (part of an extensive group recorded as NHER 50823).
The only other anomaly of note is a weak 'kidney'-shaped discrete anomaly regarded as being of undetermined origin. This potentially represents an archaeologically-significant feature, although a nature origin is perhaps more likely.
