Abstract: |
A ground penetrating radar survey was conducted over land at Beer Wall, Othery, Somerset (centred on NGR 339293 131515). The project was commissioned by the Environment Agency with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features a head of redevelopment of the land to reduce flooding. The site comprises arable fields located to the north and south of the A372 Beer road, covering an area of 0.7ha. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 13th-14th July 2015. The ground penetrating radar survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of anomalies of potential archaeological interest in both the north and south fields. The primary features identified from the radar survey are drainage and agricultural features that are likely to be from the medieval, post-medieval and modern periods. The potential depth penetration of the radar pulse was negatively affected by the geology with a maximum depth of 1.9m being achieved. |
