HILLSIDE FARM, BRYHER, ISLES OF SCILLY, REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY OCTOBER 1999
Author(s): Paul Linford, Neil Linford, Louise Martin
A geophysical survey, using magnetometry, resistivity and magnetic susceptibility, was conducted over an area of approximately 3 ha at Hillside Farm, Bryher, Isles of Scilly, where a stone lined cist containing an Iron Age sword with copper-alloy scabbard had been discovered. Whilst some anomalies were detected which may be archaeological in origin, the data has mostly been compromised by modern interference, underlying geology and subdued responses. The most obvious anomalies tended to correspond with known features and so little more information has been provided to set the cist into a wider context.
