Abstract/Summary

Geophysical survey of a Scheduled Iron Age hillfort. The results of magnetometer and resistance surveys indicate a high chance of potential past settlement activity from all part of the monument, however the activity generally seems to focus in the cental and southeastern parts of the site. Several areas were interpreted as potential building platforms and ditches, and an area of disturbed ground that may suggest heating events and human activity. The eastern and northeastern entrances were located, and potential hut circles were also visible.
