Penhale Round, Cornwall: Report on Geophysical Surveys, February and November 1991

Author(s): Andy Payne

A series of fluxgate magnetometer surveys were undertaken prior to archaeological investigation by Cornwall Archaeological Unit in advance of the Fraddon-Indian Queens A30 road improvement scheme. The surveys revealed anomalies related to the multiple ditch circuit of Penhale Round (an enclosed later prehistoric settlement site) and evidence for internal activity within the settlement. Indications of further associated settlement and field systems were also detected outside the Round in the wider surrounding landscape.
