Abstract: |
Archaeological Surveys Ltd carried out a ground penetrating radar survey to the east of Abbey House, Malmesbury, Wiltshire. The survey was limited to paths between garden beds and, as a consequence, interpretation is limited. The results demonstrate the presence of a thick topsoil layer across most of the site underlain by horizons containing features or layers of archaeological potential, generally at 0.6m – 0.8m and extending to a depth of approximately 1.5m deep. A possible wall and former surface or floor were located in the northern part of the area as well as evidence of potential structural remains or debris. Reflections possibly indicative of a former wall and debris were also located in the western part of the site. An area of complex reflections immediately to the north of the circular herb garden could also be related to structural debris, although an area of deep ground make-up or former garden feature is also possible. |
