Full Description
In March 2014 a community archaeological project focussed on a grass field 1km east of the village of Snape where previous metal detecting had yielded metal work of Roman and Anglo-Saxon date and dowsing had fuelled local speculation about the possible presence of a boat burial. Geophysical survey was carried out as a community training activity and identified anomalies indicating discrete features of linear, curvilinear and sub-circular form which may represent anthropogenic activity within the survey area and possibly extending beyond it. The linear features do not appear likely to relate to a boat burial, but the subcircular features are similar in size and geophysical signature to sunken featured buildings, while a larger circular feature may be the remains of a round barrow (S1).
