Abstract: |
GPR survey undertaken to the east of the river (Site 1) over the suspected location of the print works produced mixed results. While several anomalies of interested were visible in the data, excavation revealed far more walls/features than suggested by the GPR data. It would appear that the GPR was detecting the flint walls associated with the Abbey rather than the brick walls associated with the print works. This is most likely due to insufficient dielectric contrast between the brick walls and the surrounding dry clayey soil. Resistance survey to the west of the river (Site 2) failed to identify any clearly defined anomalies of archaeological interest. |
