Abstract: |
Archaeology South East was commissioned undertake a multiple technique geophysical survey, consisting of magnetometry, earth resistance and ground probing radar (GPR) survey at Horton Priory, Monks Horton, Kent. The survey area consisted of approximately 1.6ha of gardens. The survey aimed to identify anomalies potentially relating to the surviving medieval ruins of Horton Priory. The magnetometry, earth resistance and GPR surveys have indicated potential archaeological features that may relate to the former priory and its ancillary buildings. The geophysical surveys have indicated a significant amount of ground disturbance. This may reflect both more modern disturbance related to services, and the modification of the site in 1911, as well as the demolition of the former priory. A weak trend to the west of the priory may indicate a feature related to the water management of the site. However, the evidence is too faint to provide a definitive explanation. |
