Description

A fluxgate gradiometer survey was conducted to inform a proposed quarry extension on land at Kettleby Quarry, Bigby. A possible ring ditch was identified from the anomalies, as well as a complex of irregular ditches and enclosures, which may be prehistoric in origin. There is also evidence for medieval cultivation in the eastern part of the site. Two bomb craters were identified. {1}
