Geophysics Report

The team conducted a geophysical survey in March.

The team surveyed the area with a cropmark of buried ditches between Athersley and Royston. We hoped to gain more information about the cropmark. The survey did show ditches but they seem to be in slightly different places! The survey also identified the traces of ridge and furrow. These are long ridges created by ploughing with ozen or horses in the past. Today, the fields are used to grow crops and none of these features can be seen on the ground.
