A detailed magnetic survey was carried out along 3 sections of the proposed pipeline route. Area 1 revealed a zone of increased magnetic response that could be of archaeological significance. It may indicate the presence of industrial activity such as kilns or hearths, possibly related to the known Roman pottery kilns in the area. However, until further research is carried out this cannot be confirmed and the anomalies may represent modern material. Areas 2 and 3 revealed little other than modern agricultural practices and probable natural features, although some possible ridge and furrow was noted at the western end of Area 3 and some potential pit like features were seen although these could relate to the construction of an existing gas main. {1} The area of potentially significant anomalies in Area 1 was included in a fieldwalking survey (ELI7813). No concentrations of finds were identified in this area, although a thin scatter of pottery was seen over the whole walked area. This material did not include any wasters, and may have originated as a manuring scatter. {2}
