Description

A cart-based fluxgate gradiometer survey carried out across 80ha of mainly arable land prior to residential development. One small rectilinear enclosure was detected in the southern part of the site. Otherwise, the anomalies present were documented historic field boundaries. An extant cropmarked enclosure in the far north east of the site was not found and there is a suggestion that the survey failed due to superficial sand deposits in the east and north east.
