| Abstract: |
This project complements the results of earlier geomagnetic surveys at Grinton Mound East and Cogden Hall in Swaledale. The works were commissioned by Swaledale and Arkengarthdale Archaeoology Group (SWAAG) and undertaken by Archaeological Services Durham University (ASDU). The initial geomagnetic survey of Grinton Mound East suggested two concentric defensive ditches and possible stone banks. Earth resistance and ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys have enabled further interpretation and it now appears that the enclosure comprises two stone revetment walls with a large defensive ditch between them. It is considered likely that the surviviing earthworks at Grinton Mound East reflect the remains of a significant defended settlement. At Cogden Hall a double walled or revetted rectilinear enclosure has been surveyed and at least one long house survives within the enclosure. |
