Abstract: |
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey was carried out at a former bus depot to the west of Friars Street, Hereford. The survey was commissioned by Cotswold Archaeology, ahead of the proposed redevelopment of the former bus depot site. Strong GPR reflectors relate to modern tarmac surface layers and the associated subsurface. Significant reflection of GPR energy from these layers may have limited penetration across parts of the site. A discrete feature approximately 1.5m by 1.5m was identified within time slices and associated radargrams show a hyperbola profile possibly consistent with a vaulted feature extending between depths of approximately 0.4m and 0.9m. The archaeological potential of the anomaly should be considered, although a modern feature is also possible. Complex, planar and dipping reflectors are widespread across the site, although the majority are located near to the surface; however, it is possible that some relate to former structures or structural debris. |
