Abstract: |
Ground conditions were far from ideal; in fact only very small areas were suitable for detailed survey and magnetic scanning was severely restricted by modern ferrous debris scattered throughout the woods. While resistance survey, immediately adjacent to the trench in Area 1, succeeded in defining the line of some of the walls identified in the excavation, it wasn't possible to survey a larger area. Magnetic survey in Areas 2 and 5 identified ferrous material and some responses of archaeological potential. Magnetic Susceptibility survey in Area 5 provided the best results: a very clear plot of a spread of metal-working slags and debris, thought to be associated with a small furnace or an ore roasting area. |
