Abstract: |
Two small areas in the centre of Canterbury, on the site of Greyfriars Abbey, were investigated by resistance survey; unfortunately the results are confused and difficult to interpret. Although there are marked changes in the resistance levels, the anomalies are generally poorly defined and lacking in any shape or archaeological form. There are a few clear, high resistance responses that appear to represent surviving wall foundations, but there is only fragmentary agreement between the geophysical results and wall lines marked on local maps. Given that trees have been uprooted, the ground consolidated and the park has been landscaped (J Butterworth pers. comm.) these factors will all have affected the results. It is likely that any surviving wall foundations will be 'hidden' below imported soil and rubble concentrations. The possible presence of old paths is also thought to be confusing matters. |
