Description

February 2021. Geophysical survey. The survey at Great Chesterford has revealed a tentative irregularly-shaped enclosure and possible pits have been mapped, though they could have an archaeological or natural origin. Numerous sinuous bands of magnetic enhancement across the site are a result of natural variations, while evidence for ploughing and possible ridge and furrow is also visible in the data. <1>
