Abstract: |
This report presents the results of geophysical surveys conducted at two archaeological sites in Swaledale, North Yorkshire. The work comprised detailed geomagnetic and earth resistance surveys at Maiden Castle and West Hagg. The Maiden Castle work was commissioned by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority (YDNPA) on behalf of the Swaledale and Arkengarthdale Archaeology Group (SWAAG) and was undertaken by Archaeological Services University of Durham (ASDU). The West Hagg work was commissioned by SWAAG and was undertaken by ASDU. The majority of anomalies detected by the surveys at Maiden Castle were weak but could indicate the presence of possible roundhouses, cists and other features in addition to those already known. A well defined enclosure was detected at West Hagg where a number of anomalies complemented previously recorded earthworks. Two 'annexes' to the main enclosure were detected providing three distinct zones at the settlement which were perhaps used for occupation, some small scale industrial or craft activity and stock |
