Abstract: |
Earth resistance and magnetic surveys were conducted over a hengi-form enclosure with a double bank and ditch at Rotherhope near Alston, Cumbria in support of the Miner-Farmer Landscapes of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty project. The site is situated on the lower reaches of the blanket peat covered moorland of Rotherhope Fell between two streams draining into the valley of the South Tyne. Despite waterlogged conditions at the site, the earth resistance data complemented both a topographic survey, undertaken simultaneously by the English Heritage Archaeological Investigation team, and previous LiDAR imagery. The combined field work improved the interpretation of the site and the geophysical survey also clarified the previously uncertain course of the eastern perimeter of the enclosure. |
