BEERWAY FARM, SHAPWICK, SOMERSET. REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, 1999

Author(s): Paul Linford, M A Cole

A geophysical survey was carried out over Church Field at Beerway Farm, Shapwick in Somerset at the request of the Shapwick Project to extend previous geophysical survey work carried out there. The magnetometer results detected a complex palimpsest of archaeological anomalies from both Roman and medieval periods including the remains of the original church at Shapwick, which existed between the 8th- and 14th- centuries AD. Complementary archaeological evidence gathered by the Project helped to interpret the anomalies visible in the survey results.
