Description
It is unclear what this event is specifically recording. It may have been an initial round of casual field observations made by P.M Ryan and S. Potter in Purleigh, which identified the earthworks at Carters Pasture and prompted them to make contact with the landowner for permission to monitor the work on the land. See EEX25856 for the fieldwalking and measured survey of the earthworks, and EEX25863 for the archaeological excavation of one of the house platforms.
