Description

A fluxgate gradiometer survey was undertaken on land north of Gonerby Lane, Gonerby Moor, to inform proposed development. The surveyed are consisted of three separate field parcels; Field 1 to the south, and Fields 2 and 3 to the north west and north east, respectively. Anomalies forming several rectilinear enclosures bounded by ditches were detected in the south east portion of Field 1. The features were identified as indicators of a probable settlement which was partially evaluated by a previous geophysical survey in 2004 (ELI10275). The current survey revealed the full extent of the posssible settlement, with probable associated features to the east. Further discrete anomalies aligned north to south were identified to the east, which were interpreted as pits or areas of burning. Probable ditches and pits were identified in the northern parts of Fields 2 and 3, with further ditches recorded in the north east of Field 3 and south east of Field 2. The survey also identified ridge and furrow and modern disturbances. {1}
