Abstract: |
Gradiometer survey close to the cave found no anomalies of archaeological potential. A number of trends can be discerned in the data which may be of interest but any interpretation would be speculative. Over and around the barrow, numerous anomalies of clear or potential archaeological interest have been recorded. Trends evident in the data may also have an archaeological origin but this is conjectural. A band of magnetic disturbance and several of the above anomalies display a marked NW-SE orientation. It is possible, therefore, that some reflect more recent land use and agricultural practice. Resistance survey was conducted over and around the barrow and recorded a circular mass of high-resistance readings corresponding with the coarse material used in its construction. An area of low resistance readings intrudes into this and relates to a robber trench. The data also contains several low-resistance linear anomalies and trends which are orientated approximately NW-SE. Whilst these may be archaeological, an alternative explanation, such as agriculture, is equally credible. |
