Type and Period
Description
February 2022. Geophysical magnetometer survey.
A single anomaly, a low magnitude curvilinear, possibly angular, ditch-like anomaly has been recorded and interpreted as of uncertain origin. An archaeological cause cannot be ruled out but given the lack of any other anomalies of possible archaeological origin anywhere within the survey area and the absence of any archaeological or historical context a non-archaeological origin is considered more plausible. <1>
