Abstract: |
Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess c.0.25ha of land adjacent to subsurface remains of an Roman Villa at the Wadeford Farm, Combe St Nicholas. A ground penetrating radar survey was successfully completed in 4 areas. Results showed a good signal penetration and response with a 450mHz antenna showing a range of anomalies. Evidence of structural remains were detected across the site in the form of rubble and walls. Two phases of activity were identified. The deeper responses at c.1m of depth are more likely to be associated with the Roman villa, in particular the cluster of anomalies to the north-west of the site. Shallower archaeological responses at a depth of c.0.50m highlight a square structure with a possible well adjacent to the eastern wall. Data also reflected modern activity associated with services, manhole covers, rubble, surface concrete material and effect from the adjacent buildings. Some of the responses, such as those associated with rubble, may have masked anomalies of different origins, though anomalies could still be detected against other anomalies of modern origins such as those associated with the concrete surface. |
