Abstract: |
The surveys have successfully mapped a number of buried services in both areas and in the Upper Ward defined the extent of a subway/service corridor. The Upper Ward surveys, in particular the (GPR), have identified a number of 'targets' of possible archaeological interest. Potentially the most interesting is a clear curving response in the south-east corner of the lawn that may be associated with other potential structural features. A second curving response at the western edge of the lawn is presumably associated with the Round Tower moat and shows potential structural features. There is an unusual response in both the resistance and GPR data in the centre of the lawn; it may be a former path or roadway but it doesn't align with the George IV Gateway that lies to the south. A presumed 'tank' is visible in the centre of the lawn. The Lower Ward Denton's Commons. The GPR survey failed to identify any features that equate with the documentary / plan evidence for a Great Hall. The number of services that cross the survey area are clearly having a detrimental effect on the clarity of the GPR results and as such they may be masking any buried archaeology. |
