REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY JUNE 1994
Mark Cole
Number of pages - 6

Magnetometer survey was undertaken at Greys Farm, Wilsworthy, Cornwall in response to a request from the Cornwall Archaeological Unit. The aim of the survey was to investigate the location of a medieval settlement that was deserted in the 18th century. The survey successfully mapped the site locating a number of ditches and pits. Unfortunately, due to time restraints, the survey was unable to delimit the archaeological activity completely.

MERDON CASTLE, HURSLEY, HAMPSHIRE, REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, 1994
Mark Cole
Number of pages - 10

Geophysical survey was undertaken at Merdon Castle, Hursley, Hampshire, in response to a request from Steven Trow, the Inspector of Ancient Monuments responsible for the site. A management plan for the future upkeep of the monument is currently being prepared by English Heritage in conjunction with Winchester City Council and the land owners. The aim of the survey was to attempt to locate any buried structures surviving within the earthworks at Merdon, and in particular within the well-preserved 12th century Norman ringwork. The results of the resistivity survey indicate that buried foundations of walls and buildings are present, predominantly within the inner ward of the ringwork. Unfortunately, the sheer amount of recent activity at the site has severely impaired the effectiveness of magnetometer survey.

WEST ACRE PRIORY, NORFOLK, REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY 1994
N Linford
Number of pages - 10

The aim of this survey was to aid the interpretation of the remains of the substantial Augustinian Priory at West Acre, Norfolk to assist with the ongoing management of the monument. Whilst the survey revealed a number of potentially significant anomalies the data was of insufficient clarity to enable detailed interpretation or to fully gauge the relationship of these anomalies to the remains of the medieval Priory.

TREVIGUE, ST GENNY'S, CORNWALL REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY 1994
P Linford
Number of pages - 7

A geophysical survey was carried out at Trevigue near St Genny's in northern Cornwall to detect any surviving remains of a shrunken medieval settlement thought to have existed on the site. Results were disappointing and no definite archaeological features were detected with either magnetometry or resistivity. Nevertheless, several linear anomalies were revealed in the resistivity survey that may indicate the presence of poorly preserved wall footings.

REPORT ON STONEHENGE: 20TH CENTURY EXCAVATIONS PROJECT
REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS 1993-4

Despite the publication of two major survey projects in the Stonehenge Environs, Stonehenge in its immediate landscape setting has never been subject to any detailed non- invasive investigation. This report describes geophysical exploration of Stonehenge and the triangle of land that encloses it (the 'Stonehenge Triangle') undertaken in 1993-4 by the Ancient Monuments Laboratory. The surveys were carried out on behalf of English Heritage and Wessex Archaeology for the Twentieth Century Excavations at Stonehenge Project and consisted of a magnetometer survey of the whole triangle and a detailed resistivity survey of the famous henge monument. The magnetometer results provide new information on monuments and features in the triangle, some already documented but not previously subject to detailed study or survey. The resistivity data enhances the existing body of excavation and survey evidence for the arrangement and structure of the henge monument in its various phases. Both surveys therefore make a significant contribution to further understanding the history of an area at the heart of a landscape of outstanding archaeological importance.

GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY AT PENHALE MOOR, PENHALE, CORNWALL
N Linford
Number of pages - 8

Magnetic survey of the site at Penhale Moor, Cornwall, confirmed the presence of archaeological anomalies detected as a series of cropmarks by previous aerial photography. Subsequent trial excavation by the Cornish Archaeological Unit, prior to the construction of the A30 road improvements, revealed the presence of a Bronze Age dwelling and an associated scatter of pit/post hole features.

REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS AT CATTERICK, NORTH YORKSHIRE
A D H Bartlett
Number of pages - 12

This report summarises results from a series of geophysical surveys carried out by the Ancient Monuments Laboratory for the Central Excavation Unit at sites near Catterick in 1981-4. The surveys were successful in producing detailed plans of two Roman occupation sites, and also detected Iron Age cropmarks. Comparisons between the survey results and subsequent excavation findings are noted.

ST ANDREW'S HILL CULLOMPTON, DEVON:
REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY JANUARY 1992
N Linford
Number of pages - 6

Magnetic survey of the site at St Andrew's Hill, Cullompton, Devon confirmed the presence of archaeological anomalies detected as a series of cropmarks by aerial photography in 1984. However, no significant magnetic anomalies were detected in the immediate environs of the fort to the west, where the town council proposed the extension of the existing town cemetery. Subsequent excavation by the Exeter Museum Archaeological Field Unit, prior to this development revealed a Roman fort ditch running alongside the eastern boundary of the proposed cemetery extension. The failure of this quite substantial feature to be detected as a magnetic anomaly was attributed to the concentration of modern ferrous material that had accumulated within this area of the survey.

COMMENTS ON PLOTS OF RESISTIVITY DATA, MIDDLETON HALL, CUMBRIA
Mark Cole
Number of pages - 6

The plots enclosed are based on the results of a resistivity survey undertaken at the site of Middleton Hall, Cumbria (SD 632 875, County Monument 494) by Dr D J Woolliscroft of Manchester University. The survey data was forwarded to the Ancient Monuments Laboratory for computer processing. The processed plots show that, although the site has responded well to the technique, the resistivity results simply corroborate those of the topographic survey and little additional information has been detected. Consequently the survey has not provided enough information to allow the earthworks to be confidently attributed to a particular period.
