The surveying and geophysics results produced during the 2003 season are shown below.

Key:

  • yellow areas represent possible locations of the features we are researching
  • the grey dot density pattern shows the resistivity survey results (light indicates areas of low resistance - usually wet areas and filled in ditches)
  • the green grid is the national grid
  • the blue grid is the site grid

Interpretation:

  • the area of low resistance in the west corner of grid O/280 corresponds with a depression which extends NW and under the nearby hedge.
  • the low resistance in the top corner of grid P280 corresponds with the transition from the gravel terrace to a peaty alluvial soil which borders the stream
  • Grid M120 includes a rectangle of low resistance.  Its position is where the home owner believes a moat once lay.  However the feature stops short of the SW corner of the garden platform.  It is possible that the platform was extended when the moat was filled.
  • Grid O/200 is shows much less resistance than adjoining grids P200 & Q200.  It may indicate a wide ditch
