Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a geophysical and topographic survey undertaken at Quarr Abbey, near Fishbourne, on the Isle of Wight, in the summer of 2002. It specifies the survey methodology together with an interpretation and discussion of the survey results. The integrated resistivity and magnetometer survey across the site, combined with a survey of the topography, was successful in locating and mapping the buried remains of the Cistercian abbey of St Mary. The cloisters, undercroft and chapter house of the order were all clearly visible in the resistivity survey results, and these were augmented by the limited success of the magnetometer survey. |
