Abstract: |
The area surrounding the remains of a medieval chapel, which was previously found in a pipe trench, was investigated by resistivity and magnetometer surveying. A number of resistivity anomalies were detected, together with linear magnetic anomalies possibly indicating ditches or channels. The distribution of resistivity findings suggests that remains of other structures forming part of the medieval hospital complex are likely to be present within the survey area, but their disturbed and amorphous character would be consistent with the effects of suspected deep ploughing at the site. It may be the case that intact wall footings survive only at a depth greater than the depth of penetration of the survey (c.0.5m). Some of the magnetometer findings may relate to water courses or drainage within the hospital site. |
