Abstract: |
A geophysical survey was carried out on the site of the Abbey of St. Benet at Holm near Horning in Norfolk in August 1996 at the request of the English Heritage regional Inspector of Ancient Monuments. The site has suffered badly from erosion due to flooding of the adjacent river Bure and it was proposed that flood defences on the river bank be rebuilt. Thus, the survey was requested to detect archaeological features near the river that might be affected by the work and to improve understanding of this large and complex medieval abbey site. Unfortunately, owing to the extremely dry conditions pertaining at the time of the survey, results from the site were not good and little unequivocal evidence for the remains of buildings associated with the abbey has been recovered. However, a number of linear anomalies were detected in the resistivity survey that may be caused by buried wall footings and these have been mapped on an earlier topographic survey by the RCHME. |
