Abstract: |
Although the magnetic results from The Palace Field are very noisy, there are linear anomalies along the eastern perimeter of the site that appear to equate with the surviving wall foundations. Similarly, despite problems associated with recent garden features, the resistance survey has identified several areas of interest that are associated with foundations and rubble spreads / paving. The GPR survey has located many responses of possible archaeological interest within the main survey area, Area 1. There is evidence for possible walls, floors and other discrete reflections which may be of archaeological interest. Within Area 2 there is evidence for a possible wall which correlates with the extant remains. In the garden adjacent to The Palace the resistance survey has identified areas of high readings but no clear anomalies indicative of structures within the top metre. Similarly, the GPR survey has failed to identify any clearly defined reflections within the area surveyed. A few near surface reflections are apparent but these most likely relate to minor landscaping/garden features. |
