Description

A magnetometry survey was conducted on parts of the Roman fort and Romano-British settlement site to the north-west of Marton, as part of a private research project. The survey recorded large parts of the ditched enclosure surrounding the Roman fort, with clear gaps for the gateways visible. Survey of the interior of the fort was less conclusive, with no clearly defined internal features discernible. The survey also recorded a large number of curvilinear magnetic anomalies across the settlement area, thought to represent the remains of several ditched droveways, and many enclosures, pits and property boundaries. {1]
