Abstract: |
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and earth resistance surveys were conducted at Latton Priory Farm, North Weald Basset, Essex, as casework support to complement conservation works on the surviving elements of the medieval church building, assisted through the Historic England Heritage at Risk programme. The aim of the high sample density GPR survey (4.8ha) was to provide evidence for any surviving structural remains beneath the concrete hard standing of the modern farmyard, and to complement an analytical earthwork survey of the farmhouse garden and across the wider outer wards of the priory. Earth resistance coverage (0.8ha) was targeted over accessible areas of the gardens and in the immediate vicinity of the priory building. Both geophysical survey techniques successfully revealed anomalies associated with former garden layouts and the known course of the moat, together with the tentative location of building remains. Despite the presence of modern structures and services the GPR survey also revealed evidence for surviving structural remains beneath the hard standing in the farmyard, potentially suggesting the original footprint of the nave west wing of the cloister associated with the priory church. |
