Abstract: |
Magnetometry and (small) earth resistance surveys detected the locations of timber huts, a corrugated iron building, canvas aircraft hangars and a firing range which had been removed approximately 100 years ago. The survival and detectability of the Port Meadow aerodrome's locations of temporary canvas and corrugated iron structures is surprising. It has probably been assisted by the use of cinder and ash for surfacing and the area not having been ploughed, which may have lessons concerning the survival of remains in other grassland areas. |
