Abstract: |
GPR survey confirmed the presence of both intact cellars and deeply stratified archaeology in the western half of Area 1. Geophysics (magnetometry, resistivity and GPR) failed to find any evidence for the Roman Road in Area 2 , excavation and borehole investigation suggested that the road may have been lost to surface excavation of clays. The GPR survey on the river identified three clear reflections that coincided with the suspected Roman crossing point and as such are likely to indicate either a surviving stone ford, or pier bases for a bridge. A lack of time and a faulty outboard motor on the boat precluded a full systematic survey. |
