Abstract:
This report presents the results of the geophysical survey undertaken at Old Sarum, near Salisbury in Wiltshire, between March and July 2015. It specifies the survey methodology together with an interpretation and discussion of the survey results. The survey was carried out across the inner and outer bailey of the scheduled monument, and in fields to the south of the monument, incorporating topographic survey, magnetometer, earth resistance survey and GPR surveys. The preliminary results demonstrate an incredible number of features within the area of the outer bailey, showing the plan of the medieval city, and potentially earlier structures. The GPR in the outer bailey also demonstrated the presence of substantial medieval structures, together with possible remains predating the medieval settlement, possibly associated with the Iron Age hillfort. To date the results represent two phases of a field project spanning three years, however, the potential for the application of these different techniques has been established at the site, and more intensive program of survey will hopefully allow the team to map the site and its environs.
