Magnetometry (21 October 2013 - 22 November 2013)
Area 6 is the northernmost survey area, located within a waterlogged area at the base of a west-facing gradient on the eastern side of the A9. It measures 40m in width and 185m in length. No obvious archaeological anomalies are visible within the data. Within the south of the field a fragmented curvilinear anomaly, O, has been identified. This may indicate a ditch, the function of which is unclear. At the northern extent of the anomaly a broad area of magnetic disturbance, P, can be seen. This is similar in size and magnitude to those anomalies observed within Area 3a (see NO03SE 28), and is similarly located within a low-lying area. It is possible, therefore, that this magnetic disturbance is due to the magnetic fill of a
former extraction pit. If so, the fragmented linear anomaly, O, may be associated. Elsewhere, anomalies have been identified which are due to geological and pedological variations, modern agriculture and magnetic disturbance from the adjacent field boundaries.
