Abstract: |
Caesium magnetometer and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys were conducted over an irregular curvilinear enclosure on the top of Kitridding Hill, Lupton, Cumbria, recorded through the initial aerial photographic phase of the National Archaeological Identification Surveys: Upland Pilot (RASMIS 6304). It was hoped that additional magnetic and GPR survey might enhance the archaeological record of the site, as the interior earthworks were in places indistinct and it is possible that the enclosure represents part of a wider complex of archaeological activity. A vehicle-towed, caesium magnetometer array was used to cover the earthworks (2.3ha) whilst the GPR was focused on a smaller area (1.0ha) of the interior to test the suitability of this technique at the site. The magnetic survey revealed a symmetric 'shield shaped' form to the enclosure and suggests further interior activity corroborated by the GPR results. |
