Data was collected using a cart carrying four paired Bartington magnetic sensors. Four sensors mounted 1m horizontally apart and very accurately aligned to nullify the effects of the earth's magnetic field. Readings relate to the difference in localised magnetic anomalies compared with the general magnetic background. Each data point is geographically referenced using an on-board Trimble RTK survey grade GPS system. Readings were taken at 0.125m centres along traverses 1.0m apart. Readings relate to the difference in localised magnetic anomalies compared with the general magnetic background. The magnetometer survey has recorded magnetic responses that have been interpreted as being of possible archaeological interest. Numerous ditch-like responses and trends are visible in the north of the site; some of these may form partial enclosures. Ridge and furrow cultivation has also been detected in the survey. Anomalies of uncertain origin have also been recorded; the majority are probably due to agricultural or natural processes or buried ferrous debris. The alignment of a former field boundary has also been detected in the survey. Zones of magnetic disturbance have likely been caused by the infilling of a former pond a modern bonfire, or spreads of modern debris.
