Success with our latest Field Survey

We identified this crop mark in a field near Ellerby, and undertook a magnetometer survey over the whole area.  The map results from the recorded data, clearly showed an irregular shaped ditch, similar to those previously discovered around Iron Age settlements.

Auger soil sampling tests proved the presence of the ditch, but further investigations will be needed.

The difference in soil texture and colour proved the existence of a ditch
approximately 2m wide by 1m deep at it's widest point.
