Full Description

2015: A geophysical survey was conducted prior to a small housing development. A fairly wide range of anomalies were prospected during the survey, many of which are likely to have an archaeological origin. Of particular note is the curvilinear anomaly thatis located where a cropmark (BUC 027) has been recorded on air photographs. Eight positive linear anomalies recorded within the dataset may relate to post-medieval cropmarks of remnant field boundaries (BUC 070) recorded in the field to the west. Twelve Discrete positive anomalies indicative of rubbish pits and two thermoremnant responses, interpreted as areas of burning or large buried ferrous objects, were also prospected. It is possible that the thermoremnant responses may relate to the site ofthe former WWII radar station (BUC 071) (S1).
