Abstract: |
This report presents the results of the geophysical survey undertaken at Old Sarum, near Salisbury in Wiltshire, between 30th March and 11th April 2014. It specifies the survey methodology together with an interpretation discussion of the survey results. The survey was carried out across the inner and outer bailey of the scheduled monument, incorporating topographic survey, magnetometer, earth resistance survey, GPR and ERT surveys. The preliminary results demonstrate an incredible number of features within the area of the outer bailey, showing the plan of the medieval city, and potentially earlier structures. The trial GPR in the inner bailey also demonstrated the presence of substantial medieval structures, together with possible remains predating the inner bailey. To date the results represent the first phase of a field project spanning three years, however, the potential for the application of these different techniques has been established at the site, and more intensive program of survey will hopefully allow the team to map the site and its environs. |
