Abstract: |
The report presents the results of geophysical surveys carried out on land at West Pimperne Farm, near Blandford in Dorset between 2007 and 2013. It details the survey methodology and an interpretation and discussion of the results. The area was surveyed as part of a research project looking at the site of an 18th century military encampment known to have existed on the site. The area is also rich in prehistoric monuments and it was expected that features associated with prehistoric activity would be located. The survey located features which are probably the result of Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement activity, features associated with the 18th century military encampment and post-medieval features associated with farming. |
