Martin Roseveare's insight:
No amplitude scale is a shame as clearly this site is very magnetic. You have to wonder whether a wider clip range right reveal more details of the interior of what is clearly a fascinating site. The strong magnetic fields, more accurately, strong gradients, are probably due to midden material filling spaces between the masonry. Delete the scoop?
