Abstract: |
Magnetic survey successfully identified a strong (300+ nT) anomaly that was interpreted as being a kiln (Kiln 1); expansion of the survey located a complex of linear and pit-like anomalies that were presumed to be associated with waster dumps and former workshops. The survey was then extended further to investigate a wider area of the field and a second kiln was identified. In this instance there were fewer anomalies surrounding the kiln. Resistance survey over Kiln 1 confirmed the presence of the kiln, the waste dumps and the associated structures. The latter were identified as ephemeral high resistance anomalies that corresponded with narrow beam slots that had become filled with waste tiles. Given the clayey soils that dominate the site, the GPR survey proved to be surprisingly successful. The structure of the kiln was clearly visible in the results. Even the estimate of depth, 1.4m, proved to be very accurate. |
