We were probably a little too eager to try our newest 3 fields with the cropmarks, as the stalks from the oilseed rape were not cultivated into the ground. Therefore we could only do the smashed down tyre tracks in-between the 7 inch stalks.
I called the T shaped field that name for obvious reasons but what is interesting is that its on a perfect North/South alignment so the T stands upright on the map. This gave me the idea of the 2 fields sitting on top of the T bar being called Top T Left & Top T Right.
(Most of this explanation helps LandMag picture where we have been, he will join us later after cultivation)
When we arrived they had just started moling Top T Left, so as it had the most opportunity to do the moled lines & tyre tracks, so we started there. Only did 2 hours & confirmed the linear cropmark as Roman with 7 scrappies, & a bit of a Roman Bracelet. Plus had a 17th C Token.
We then did 1 hour on the T shaped Field & got 1 scrappy, Roman Iron Nail, & the most unusual Roman Lead Steelyard Weight I've ever seen. Can't find a match on the PAS or internet searches.
Took us 15 minutes to detect back to the car & Cru'dad got a scrap bit of silver.
