Description

A magnetometer survey was undertaken on land at Maldon Road using a Bartington Grad 601-2. NRHE data transfer: Magnetically weak anomalies detected in the South of the survey area have been classified as being of possible archaeological interest, based largely on the knowledge that a Romano-British farmstead is thought to extend into this area (ARM 2015). Several former field boundaries have been recorded across the site, as well as a system of field drains or former drainage ditches. Several uncertain trends were noted and are likely these are likely to be of agricultural or natural origin. Finally, a band of magnetic responses in Area 3 are probably the result of underlying natural features. Information from OASIS Online Form.
