Abstract: A paper reporting the use of GPR to survey an area of archaeologically important karst topography at Kitley Caves in Devon. The use of GPR to detect voids within limestone outcrop as an aid to locating cave systems which might contain sediments suitable for excavation is described. The performance of GPR equipment is analysed and the results compared to those obtained with an electrical resistance survey carried out at the same location. In particular, the depth of penetration of the GPR is estimated, and discernible echo signals from a much greater depth than is usually reported in archaeological applications of GPR are reported.
