Abstract: |
A geophysical survey was carried out at the request of Roy Canham, County Archaeologist for Wiltshire, after Roman masonry remains were unexpectedly discovered during the construction of a housing development to the north of Swindon. Whilst magnetometry results were disappointing owing to modern disturbance on the site, resistivity contrast was good and the remains of at least four Roman buildings were identified, with the suggestion that several more existed. Taken with other archaeological evidence the geophysical results point to the presence of a major Roman religious complex on Blunsdon Ridge. |
