Fields to the north, east and south-east of Mercer’s Farm, Nutfield

Geophysical survey by J Adcock of GSB revealed a series of linear anomalies forming what appear to be small enclosures at the edge of a spread of strong responses that suggest the presence of fired materials or ferrous-rich deposits, anomalies interpreted as former field boundaries, and numerous linear trends deemed to be of agricultural origin. Little was detected in the region of the Mesolithic/Neolithic/Bronze Age flint scatter identified by TVAS during fieldwalking in 2010, although the typical ephemeral nature of pre-Bronze Age sites may explain the reason for this.
