Full Description
A single, north-east to south-west aligned, linear magnetic anomaly was recorded in this location in June 2016, during magnetometry survey on land off Harpswell Lane (the A631), Hemswell Cliff. The anomaly was thought to represent the remains of a former field boundary ditch. Whilst no conclusive date could be suggested for the feature, it was noted that no corresponding boundary is depicted on any of the historic Ordnance Survey maps of this area, suggesting it pre-dates the Parliamentary Enclosure of this land. {1}
