Description

A gradiometer survey was conducted on land at Stamford West to inform a proposed development. This survey was intended to target those areas exempted from a previous survey in 2011 (ELI14386). A small group of linear responses forming a possible irregular enclosure were identified to the north of the site, with a number of possible field boundaries nearby. In the centre of the site, no anomalies representing a possible eastern return of the known ditched enclosure were identified, although continuations of both the south and north enclosure ditches were encountered. Several discrete possible linears were also encountered in the southeast of the site. {1}{2}
