Abstract: |
A ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey covering an area of 1 ha was conducted over the remains of the Roman amphitheatre at Richborough, Kent. The survey successfully identified anomalies related both to the structure of the monument and to more recent wartime activity at the site. Attenuation of the radar wave limited the depth penetration of the survey although more diffuse anomalies, possibly due to more substantial entranceways or towers within the amphitheatre walls, were detected to a depth of approximately 2.5m from the ground surface. No convincing evidence was revealed for any substantial activity pre-dating the amphitheatre. |
