Series: Abingdon Archaeological Geophysics unpublished report series

Magnetometry and resistivity surveys to locate a causewayed camp ditch.

Surveys to seek to establish whether pegs used to secure marquees would damage burued remains.

Geophysics, test pits and evaluation trenches revealed a 1 hectare Roman site.Later soil dumping over the area obscured much detail. Comparing test pits with the more usual machining down to archaeology then hand digging showed that the latter missed some 85% of the finds.This may have implications for evaluation by excavation in general.

Magnetometry and Earth Resistance surveys of a medieval castle site.

Magnetometry survey together with a short note on earlier excavations.

A small survey in the Rectors garden of Exeter College, Oxford

Magnetometry was carried out to test whether English Heritages claims for the superiority of caesium sensors was justified. The research found that the test site had been partially excavated in the period between their caesium and fluxgate surveys, which appears to have influenced their results.

Magnetometry and a small bit of resistivity to find a deserted medieval village. Some likely remains were found as well as a probable brick kiln. A pond and sludge dumping from a nearby lake impeded results.

A Magnetometry survey, to assess the density and nature of remains to act as a comparable for proposed gravel/waste pit nearby, located unrecorded barrows and a, presumably Romano British, settlement of approx 3 hectares and many pit/grave like anomalies.

The owner of this field wished to know more about the humps and bumps in his field. We carried out magnetometry, earth resistance, resistivity profile and a contour survey. These appear to have located a late Saxon to medieval tower and castle with a village to its north.There were also remains which could be Bronze Age and Iron Age in date. The Time Team television programme later identified a 17th century Civil War ditch there.
