ECKWEEK DESERTED MEDIEVAL SETTLEMENT AVON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, 1989
Author(s): Andy Payne
This survey was undertaken to establish the character of the remains of a deserted medieval settlement situated in fields around Eckweek House, Avon. The site had been partially excavated by Avon County Council in advance of housing and road development. It was hoped that geophysical survey of unexcavated areas would assist the targetting of further sample excavation and also provide additional information on areas left unrecorded by excavation. The survey therefore covered the majority of the remaining undisturbed areas of the site, and was successful in the detection of evidence for further buried remains and patterns of past land division. These results significantly improved upon existing knowledge of the site.
