Description
February 2019. Geophysical survey.
There are several magnetic responses which comprise either linear anomalies or chains of dipole anomalies; many of these coincide with former field boundaries marked on historic mapping. The ‘chains’ could be services (cables or pipes) which follow the course of the boundary or they may be metal spikes associated with old fence posts.
Uncertain signals are found at several points across the survey areas; they are also almost certainly former field boundaries, but in the absence of any supporting map evidence, they are interpreted as being conjectural rather than corroborated. <1>
