Description

Geophysical survey was carried out over a total area of 1.35 hectares using a magnetometer, with a smaller area of 0.4 hectrares subjected to GPR survey. The magnetic results revealed little, the GPR provided better results. Possible chapel to the north of the extant walls. The responses were not of a sufficient density to define the exact layout of the palace and ancillary buildings.
