Abstract: |
A detailed magnetometry survey was carried out over a 2ha field within the scheduled area of the Roman town at Wanborough, Swindon. An earth resistance survey was also undertaken over a 1ha area within the western and southern parts of the field. The magnetometer survey located a possible former channel of the Dorcan stream and widespread magnetic debris which may indicate modern magnetic contamination. Some magnetic anomalies did appear to correspond to resistivity anomalies, although they lack a coherent morphology. The difference between high and low resistance responses was very small due to waterlogged conditions, but several zones of relatively high response may indicate former structures, or possible roads or trackways, although these again are indistinct. |
