Abstract: |
Ground penetrating radar survey was conducted in St Mary and All Saints Church with earth resistance and ground penetrating radar survey over land to the north of the church and a detailed gradiometer survey to the south of the church at Palace Field, Droxford, Winchester (centred on NGR 460780, 118220). The project was commissioned by the Friends of Droxford Church with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features, with the specific goals of locating any crypts beneath the church, previous phases and to identify any structural remains within Palace Field. The site comprises an arable field located to the south of Saint Mary and All Saints Church, known as Palace Field, covering an area of 0.6ha, alongside three areas within the churchyard; to the north, south and west of the church and within the church. The geophysical survey was undertaken during 10th-12th August 2015 and additional earth resistance data were collected 9th September 2015. The detailed gradiometer survey in Palace Field has demonstrated the presence of a number of anomalies of potential archaeological interest, whilst the GPR survey in and around the church as detected a number of high amplitude responses of possible archaeological origin. The anomalies identified as being of archaeological interest are primarily potential pit and post-hole features in Palace Field alongside a linear trend that almost bisects the site in the northern part of the gradiometer survey area. Several high amplitude responses detected by the GPR survey suggest burials and walls associated with previous phases of the church. |
