Abstract: |
Magnetometer and earth resistance surveys were conducted over the Horton enclosure, Bishop Cannings, Wiltshire, as part of the Marden Environs NMP enhancement project (RASMIS 6302) to provide training in the use of geophysical techniques for the Wiltshire Archaeological Field Group (WAFG) and assess the survival of archaeological remains at the site. The fluxgate magnetometer survey was conducted with Bartington Grad601instruments over an area of 1.3ha, and confirmed the presence of a large curvilinear enclosure and two smaller ring ditches, previously identified through aerial photography, together with some additional activity. Unfortunately, due to instrument failure no useful earth resistance results were recovered from the site. |
