GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY AT CONEYBURY HENGE, AMESBURY, WILTSHIRE, 1980
Author(s): A D H Bartlett
Coneybury was the first of several sites surveyed by the Ancient Monuments Laboratory as a contribution to the fieldwork programme undertaken by the Trust For Wessex Archaeology, which became known as the Stonehenge Environs Project. The site is a small ploughed-out henge on a chalk subsoil, and offers conditions suitable for geophysical investigation by a variety of techniques. It was therefore used as a test site at which the findings from different survey methods could be compared. This was one of the first sites where intensive magnetic susceptibility surveying of a substantial area was attempted, and the results influenced the survey strategy adopted at other Project sites, as well as being of wider interest.
