Abstract: |
During the construction of a new access road at Bridge farm at Lopen, a substantial Roman mosiac was uncovered. Owing to the importance of the discovery, excavation took place which revealed the remains of a Roman villa. The geophysical survey was undertaken on the area surrounding the excavation to characterise the extent of the Roman site. The survey revealed a great deal of modern disturbance and few anomalies that could be ascribed an archaeological origin. Whilst one anomaly, possibly indicative of a Roman building was detected, it appears that the geophysical techniques employed were not particularly responsive to archaeology under the prevailing soi and moisture conditions.
