Description

In November 2001, an Archaeological Investigation Team based in English Heritage's York Office carried out a field observation on the village to inform the preparation of a Conservation Statement. This also concluded that a fresh survey could improve the understanding of the monument and its presentation to non-expert visitors.

These two strands culminated in the completion of a detailed investigation and survey of the earthworks, followed by a comprehensive geophysical survey by EH teams between January and September 2002. Contouring of the natural topography and control for the earthwork survey (including a network of temporary markers and two permanent markers) was established with Trimble differential GPS equipment, using two receivers working independently in real-time mode. The base receiver was subsequently related to the National Grid based on data obtained from OS Active GPS stations. Areas in woodland and scrub were surveyed using a Leica TC1610 theodolite. Due to the complexity of the earthworks, the majority of the analytical survey was carried out using traditional graphical techniques. The geophysical survey carried out in the wake of the earthwork survey was related to the plan.
