Abstract: |
This magnetometer survey was carried out to test for evidence of archaeological features in an area within the hillfort which is planted with fruit trees. The results from transects surveyed between the lines of trees were obscured in part by magnetic interference, but otherwise showed few positive findings. A further sample area was surveyed on adjacent open ground, where a number of magnetic anomalies were detected. There is no clear correlation between magnetometer and susceptibility results, as would be expected if substantial ancient settlement remains were present within the area of the survey, but the possibility that some of the magnetometer findings could be of archaeological origin cannot be wholly excluded on the survey evidence alone. |
