Full Description

2006: Two areas of magnetic disturbance were identified during a magentometer survey. Neither corresponded with the concentration of Roman finds and appeared to be modern in origin. Most of the ferrous disturbance is likely associated with the use of the site as an airfield. The survey did detect a number of potential archaeological responses thought to eb ditches both linear and curvilinear. Resistivity survey failed to identifity any archaeological features. (S3)
