Abstract: |
Stratascan were commissioned to undertake a geophysical survey within and around the Cloisters at Magdalen College, Oxford. This survey forms part of an archaeological investigation of the area. The survey area includes the central grassed area of the Cloisters (Area A) and a grassed area situated between the outer east walls of the cloisters and the River Cherwell (Area B). The topography of both survey areas was flat. Area A contained a large service (a water main) running from a hydrant in the centre of the survey to the entrance of the cloisters situated towards the western edge of the survey area. The resistivity and GPR survey produced interesting anomalies of possible archaeological origin. The magnetometer survey was of limited use due to the presence of metallic objects within and around the survey areas. A possible buried structure of archaeological origin may have been identified within the centre of the cloisters, and can be best seen within the GPR timeslice data with supporting evidence from the resistivity data in the form of possible evidence of archaeological debris and cut features. A number of services have been identified within all data sets. |
