Description

Geophysical Surveys covering an area of approximately 2.9 hectares were conducted over the NE quadrant of Scheduled Ancient Monument of Freston causewayed enclosure which lies due south of Ipswich and is now bisected by the B1080 road. These comprised a magnetometry and Earth Resistance survey. The aim of this geophysical survey was to investigate the immediate area of the longĀ­house and as much of the surrounding causewayed ditches as possible in an attempt to better locate the features on the ground and provide further detail about the nature and extent of the archaeological remains.
