Description

A geophysical survey over 4 hectares of land to the south west of the Late Iron Age/Roman settlement at Elms Farm, which was commissioned by the Elms Farm Project. The survey was designed to build upon an earlier survey from 1993 (EEX62016). The two fields comprising the survey were designated as areas A and B (Fig. 1). Within both areas a survey grid of 20m x 20m squares was established in alignment with the Ordnance Survey national grid. Magnetic data was collected within these squares at a sample interval of 0.5m and a traverse separation of 1m. NRHE data transfer: EHGSDB Visit No: 1647. Geophysical survey over 4ha to the south-west of the Late Iron Age/Roman settlement located anomalies thought to represent ditches, pits, possible trackways and structures belonging to the same area of occupation.
