Abstract: |
Stratascan were commissioned by Nigel Daly Design to undertake a geophysical survey at Biddulph Old Hall. The survey forms part of an archaeological investigation of Biddulph Old Hall and its surroundings. Detailed Resisitivity and Ground Penetrating Radar surveys were carried out at Biddulph Old Hall. The site was broken down into three separate survey areas, an area within the ruins of the mansion (Area 1), an area known as the tilt yard (Area 2) and an area located to the west of the house (Area 3). The resistivity and GPR surveys have identified corresponding anomalies that may indicate a number of structural remains present within the mansion (Area 1). The tilt yard (Area 2) was of limited success with few detailed anomalies of possible archaeological origin being identified. However, the GPR has identified areas of possible structural debris and landscaping, whilst the resistivity has identified possible areas archaeological activity. Area 3, west of the house, has identified a few weak anomalies that may relate to archaeological activity and a number of possible services. |
