NJ 1858 6306 A flux-gate gradiometer survey was undertaken on 27 October 2011 in advance of evaluation work. This formed part of restoration works being carried out in response to footpath erosion. The survey area of 0.34ha covered the henge earthworks and associated forest clearing, using a sampling density of 0.25 x 1m. A concentration of globular negative anomalies and areas of pronounced magnetic disturbance were recorded in the centre-north interior of the site. These formed a generally circular arrangement and were interpreted as possible pits or post settings. Equidistant parallel linear anomalies, which crossed the site NW–SE, were interpreted as remains of forestry ploughing.
