Abstract: |
The extended resistance survey succeeded in identifying the eastern end of a large building that on excavation proved to be the lost church associated with the monastic remains. Although the results are in places confused by later rubble on the site, it is still possible to identify the corner buttresses of the building. In addition a number of later garden features were identified. While a central pier was found at the east end of the church this was surviving at a depth of over 1m below the ground surface beyond the detection capabilities of a standard 0.5m twin probe resistance survey. While it has been possible to re-interpret some of the earlier results for example potentially 4 additional piers are now visible in the 1999 data the complexity of the result is still too great to allow a definitive interpretation of all the responses. While the GPR survey encountered problems on the lawn east of Syon House perhaps due to a high water table of clay layer, very clear results were obtained from the southern lawn. The definition provided by the GPR correlates extremely well with the excavated culvert, possible reredorter feature. |
