Description
SCATTER OF RB SHERDS (00:001); MEDIEVAL SHERDS (00:002); POST-MEDIEVAL SHERDS (00:003); ALSO QUERN FRAGMENT (00:004), C14/C15 COPPER ALLOY BUCKLE (00:005), FOUND DURING FIELDWALKING BY MANDEVILLE CENTRE ADULT EDUCATION CLASS, SHERDS EVENLY SCATTERED THROUGHOUT FIELD (B1).
Geophysical survey carried out by Pre-Construct Geophysics in February 2009 identified the remains of a small concentration of curvilinear and sub-circular ditched enclosures and possible pits towards the eastern end of Field 6. See report for detail (B2).
Features identified through geophysics confirmed by evaluation. Two sub-ovoid enclosures and a sub-circular enclosure are thought to have fallen out of use in the Roman period. A roughly circular pit probably represents a contemporary internal feature. Two further linear features with sharp, rectangular profiles were probably revetted with wood or contained wood. See report for detail (B3).
Two oval positive magnetic anomalies to the east of centre in the site have been categorised as possible archaeology. The northernmost of these anomalies measures approximately 40m in diameter and the southernmost 20m, although they appear to be incomplete. The responses are also partially masked by a strong magnetic shadow from a nearby pipe. Due to the isolated nature of the oval responses and the lack of supporting evidence, they cannot be considered as definite archaeological responses. (B4)
