Site Event/Activity record ECH7056 - Geophysical Survey at Bent Farm

A geophysical survey undertaken to determine whether proposed sand extraction works would destroy any part of a Roman earthwork, probably a marching camp. No significant geophysical anomalies, except for a possible cattle plague pit, were located within the field to the north-west of Bent Farm. Anomalies in this area detected by resistivity survey are probably the remains of ridge and furrow. The survey found no trace of the continuation of the defences north-westward past the farm buildings and a transect across the proposed rampart earthwork to the east of the farm, returned only a weak response.
