Field survey updateThe survey plot (left) is the latest one available - it's taken a while to put together as there is a lot of data to process. It shows the two parallel linear features clearly, running North/South from one end of the field to the other, over a distance of 324m (it's a big field!). You can also see a series of horizontal lines running East/West, which are thought to be the remains of ridge and furrow.
I estimate that a further 6 grids will be needed to finish off the "Roman road" survey. To see if and how far the ridge and furrow remains extend, a large area of the field will have to be surveyed (maybe up to 40 grids!) but this depends on time, good weather, survey method and our enthusiasm for the task.
Andrew Hall isn't aware of these results yet. I hope to see him soon to bring him up to date. Maybe broach the subject of excavation?
