LEES REST ENCLOSURE, NEAR CHARLBURY, OXFORDSHIRE. REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY NOVEMBER 1992
Author(s): Andy Payne
The purpose of this survey was to trace the continuation of a triple-ditched enclosure partly visible as a cropmark, but of unknown southward extent owing to a covering of trees. Tree felling in November 1992 provided the opportunity to map the uncertain boundaries of the enclosure within the wood using magnetometry in order to assist the future management of the site. The results indicate that the enclosure is roughly square in form with rounded corners and that the wood contains about 50% of the site. The enclosure is defined by a series of three ditches around the majority of its perimeter, which is broken on the south-east side by a probable entrance. The entrance and a variation in the layout of the ditches was not previously recognisable from the aerial photo evidence.
