Abstract: |
The ground probing radar survey undertaken at the site was successful in identifying areas, which may have had an impact on the landscaping of the castle fosse. It was likely that mixed fill material was present beneath much of the site, although an area comprising two buried horizons was identified. These results would need confirming through intrusive investigations. Although, for the purpose of this study, an assessment was made of the top 1m of the radargrams, potential archaeological features below this had been highlighted. Such features were mainly concentrated around the existing bridge and in the south west of the site. [Au(abr)] |
