West Dean Villa, West Tytherley, Hampshire: Report on Geophysical Survey, July 2014
Author(s): Neil Linford
A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was conducted over the West Dean Roman Villa, Tytherley, Hampshire, at the request of the Inspector for Ancient Monuments, to establish the precise location and gauge the depth to the surviving remains. The survey covered an area of 1.15ha and successfully identified building remains that correspond well with plans from the C19th antiquarian excavations at the site prompted by construction of the railway line immediately to the south of the site. In addition, the survey revealed a series of near-surface anomalies, possibly related to recent historic garden remains. It is hoped that these results will contribute to the ongoing management of the site and ensure the continued protection of the scheduled remains.
