Abstract: |
The survey was conducted using an Impulse Radar Crossover 4080 system with a dual frequency antenna. The Crossover 4080 antenna was mounted on a rough terrain cart which is fitted with an odometer to measure horizontal distance along the ground surface. This was deployed across the GPR area, with data collected along traverses spaced 0.5 m apart. The 800 MHz antenna was determined to provide the best quality data in this instance, and the data was collected every 0.02 m with an effective time window of 50 ns.
The GPR survey was undertaken in accordance with European Archaeologiae Consilium recommendations (Schmidt et al. 2015). The site comprises an area surrounding a building called The Round House (or ‘Booth Hall’) located in the centre of the town of Evesham, covering an area of 458 m2. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 12 November 2021 and has detected a series of high and low amplitude, planar, point, and linear anomalies related to the extensive utility network in this area.
The modern services form a complicated network throughout the area and suggest multiple phases and purposes of construction. The visible high and low amplitude anomalies display the detectable positions of those services and/or service trenches respectively, however it is unlikely all services have been detected within the remit of this survey.
There is no radar evidence to suggest any discernible features with archaeological potential. This may be due to the multiple phases of urban redevelopment in the area, around The Round House, removing or obscuring any existing archaeological features.
