Abstract: |
Gradiometer survey of the ''Fort'' site recorded a number of anomalies that appear to be associated with industrial activity. Some linear anomalies were found to relate to possible enclosure ditches but no clear plan of the ''Fort'' was obtained. It is likely that ploughing over many years has disturbed and/or destroyed archaeological deposits. Several anomalies of archaeological interest have been detected to the west of the abbey complex, within a magnetically quiet level of background response. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey over part of the abbey complex was successful. Elements of the abbey are clearly visible in the GPR data although they are not as striking as the resistance results obtained in 1993. However, excavation indicated poor survival of the walls. |
