Description

Magnetometer and resistance surveys were carried out on the presumed Roman fortlet near Holly House Farm. A grid of 30m squares was established over the site on a roughly N-S alignment. Each square surveyed using Geoscan FM36 fluxgate gradiometers. Measurements recorded at 0.25m intervals along N-S traverses 1m apart. Magnetic susceptibility survey was carried out using a Bartington MS2 meter and MS2D field coil. Readings were collected at 10m intervals within the survey grid. The resistivity survey was more successful than the magnetic survey.
