Survey Report for St. Johns Priory, Pontefract, West Yorkshire (1998)
Title: St. Johns Priory, Pontefract, West Yorkshire. Earth Resistance Survey Filename: pfp.pdf (314 kB) Description: A resistance survey covering an area of 2.2ha was carried out at the site of St. Johns Priory, Pontefract, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Anomalies caused by the previously excavated structural remains of the cloister, new chapter house and parts of the church can be readily identified. Many other high resistance linear anomalies that possibly also represent structural remains have been identified in areas that have not previously been excavated. However, the depth of ‘dissolution debris’ and quarry waste make definitive interpretations difficult. Curvi-linear anomalies were also detected that may caused by trenches relating to the siege of Pontefract Castle during the Civil War. |
