Title Geophysical Surveys at Cam Beck, Cumbria 2019 and 2021
Description As part of the Hadrian's Wall Community Archaeology Project, two geophysical surveys were undertaken, over a period of two days, in advance of excavation at Cam Beck, Cumbria. The 2019 resistivity survey was undertaken by Project volunteers under the supervision of members of the WallCAP team and the 2021 gradiometer survey was undertaken solely by the author due to the restrictions imposed by Covid 19. The site is located 480 metres southwest of the Swainsteads and 420 metres northeast of Cambeckhill. The site of the Roman fort of Camboglanna lies 420 metres to the south. The site is centred on Ordnance Survey grid reference NY 51147 63905. The survey area was laid to pasture and separated from the woodland to the north and west by a wire fence. The ditch to the north of the survey area was crossed by made ground that incorporated a draining pipe and a substantial quantity of building rubble. At the time of the gradiometer survey, the gateway was undergoing repair to correct drainage problems between it and Sandysike Farm, 400 metres to the east. No further obstructions were present.
