Comments
Approximately 20 meters east of the suvey area, two ring ditches with burial
pits were discovered during road construction. The survey was intended to determine whether further graves could be identified:
Overall, "superimposed tillage lines" can be seen in a rather noisy image. The cause of the noise was inhomogeneously loosened topsoil, in which the electrodes sometimes sank deep into the airy subsoil and sometimes immediately encountered resistance close to the surface.
The only clearly identifiable anomalies (A) (linear compaction) and (B) (linear loosening) stand out slightly from the overall image due to their orientation and brightness. Their identification is uncertain. Several small compactions (C) along the tillage traces are likely caused by irregular tillage. Suspected graves or ring ditches are not visible.
