Abstract: |
Caesium magnetometer and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys were conducted as part of the University of Reading Silchester Environs Project over two enclosures previously observed as crop marks, at Simms's Copse, Mortimer West End, Hampshire. The vehicle towed caesium magnetometer survey (8.3 ha) detected faint curving ditch anomalies associated with the two known enclosures and provided partial evidence for a third enclosure to the south of the site. The vehicle towed GPR survey (3.6 ha) focused on the two main enclosures and replicated the ditches as with some additional detail suggesting entrance gaps in the east and northeast ditches of the southern enclosure. The response to the dry valley crossing the centre of the site dominates both data sets and appears to have eroded through the north-west portion of the southern enclosure. |
