To conduct a magnetic survey over the designated land area to identify subsurface features.
Executed a magnetic survey over 2.2 hectares using a SENSYS MAGNETO MX V3 system.
Utilized 6 fluxgate gradiometers spaced 0.5 meters apart for data collection.
Recorded readings at 20Hz to achieve a survey resolution of 0.5m by approximately 0.15m.
Identified a small number of very weakly positive discrete and linear anomalies.
Anomalies were largely indistinct and lacked clear morphology.
Noted the presence of a low linear bank corresponding to a former boundary between ridge and furrow.

Resumen

The detailed magnetic survey was carried out over 2.2ha using a SENSYS MAGNETO� MX V3 6 channel cart-based system. The instrument has 6 fluxgate gradiometers (FGM650) spaced 0.5m apart with readings recorded at 20Hz which equates to a survey resolution of 0.5m by c.0.15m. The site contains a small number of very weakly positive discrete and linear anomalies, but they tend to be indistinct and lack a clearly defined morphology. A low linear bank is evident within the field relating to a former boundary that separates two series of ridge and furrow.
