Key Points

To conduct a magnetometry survey to identify potential archaeological features in Earls Barton.
Conducted a magnetometry survey in the northern part of Field 1
Analyzed geomagnetic anomalies for archaeological interpretation
No confident archaeological anomalies were identified
One linear anomaly was tentatively interpreted as a possible archaeological feature
The anomaly suggests the presence of a former unmapped boundary, indicated by a cut and infilled ditch

Abstract

Magnetometry Survey e. The survey produced good results and has not identified any anomalies that have been interpreted as being of a confident archaeological origin. However, a single linear anomaly has been tentatively interpreted as possible archaeology in the northern part of Field 1. The morphology of this anomaly is indicative of a cut and infilled ditch feature and most likely indicates a former, unmapped boundary
