HER Report no. 5851

Abstract/Summary

Report on fluxgate gradiometer and earth resistance surveys, conducted as part of a community archaeological investigation of a field in the north-east of Ancaster, known as Kiln Field. A clearly defined area of magnetic enhancement and high resistance was visible adjacent to Ermine Street, and was thought to represent the remains of Roman roadside settlement and industrial activity, linked by a number of associated tracks, walls, ditches and yards. A further group of highly magnetic anomalies, located to the immediate east of the settlement area, were thought to represent the remains of possible kilns or hearths, supporting the likely industrial nature of the remains in this location.
