Field Surveys in 2006

Extensive field surveys were conducted by the group in 2006 as part of the LHI funded project Tyncnell to Tintinhull evolution of a village. This work with data from recent aerial photos, archived RAF photos together with the 1786 Napper map has allowed us to "map" the general distribution and direction of nearly all the ancient East and West open fields' structure.

Field walking was also undertaken to map out the site of a Roman settlement, survey a shrunken village portion of Tintinhull, map a Romano-British field and a major portion of the West field. This latter has revealed the outline of different phases of farming covering ca. 800 years. The reports are posted here for downloading.
