Abstract: |
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) was carried out within the precinct of, but outside of the scheduled area of Tarrant Abbey in Dorset within two areas. One was within the footprint of a removed modern barn to the west of a Grade II* threshing barn and another within an open area to the east. The aim of the survey was to inform the location of a number of archaeological evaluation trenches for AC Archaeology. The results of the survey demonstrate the presence of planar and complex reflections within the western part of the site that underlie a modern concrete slab floor. The reflections may represent former agricultural surfaces, debris and/or the sub-base make-up to the concrete slab. Dipping surfaces were also located, although deeper anomalies may relate to naturally formed features within alluvium. A small bridge crossing a former leat in the eastern part of the site was located, it is likely to be contemporary with a mill attached to the eastern side of a large stone and brick barn located in the central part of the site. Dipping layers and very low magnitude linear anomalies to the south east of the barn may be associated with former ditch-like features. A possible wall or drain was also located to the south of the barn. |
