Abstract: |
Ground Penetrating Radar survey was conducted around the tower of St Mary the Virgin Old Church, Preston Candover, Hampshire with Ground Penetrating Radar (centred on NGR 460780, 118220). The project was commissioned by the Churches Conservation Trust (CCT) with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in particular the footprint of the church structure and any associated graves and crypts. The site comprises a graveyard that is also used for sheep grazing that surrounds the remaining church structure. The geophysical survey was undertaken during the 6th-7th October 2015. The ground penetrating radar survey in has demonstrated the presence of a number of responses of potential archaeological interest. The responses identified are primarily linear features associated with the church structure in particular on the north side of the church a series of linear responses that may be associated with a porch and several rectangular responses that are likely to be graves. Due to obstacles and inclement weather the survey area was limited to c. 0.05 ha of a possible 0.3ha. |
