Resistivity Survey in East Glebe


The resistivity survey in East Glebe was undertaken during July 2022 over a period of 4 separate days.

 

The survey revealed various anomalies over the site – higher resistance eg walls, floors, foundations and stone built underground structures appear as darker areas and lower resistance, such as pits, ditches and waterlogged areas appear as lighter coloured areas.  The site clearly falls into two  parts; the section of the field lying to the west of the wood shows clear and regular anomalies while in the southern section of the field, the anomalies are less clearly defined and more ephemeral. There was no change in technique, equipment, or weather over the four survey sessions, so it can only be concluded that the difference between the northern area which runs gently uphill towards the north and the lower-lying southern area is due to archaeological features and underlying geology.

More detail and analysis will appear in the Reports section in due course.
