WHITEHALL FARM, KELK, E.RIDING. REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, DECEMBER 1998

Author(s): Neil Linford

A magnetometer survey was conducted over an area of 2.9ha containing cropmarks at Whitehall Farm, Kelk, East Riding and revealed a number of significant anomalies associated with a rectilinear enclosure of probable Roman date. This enclosure contained a group of apparently thermoremanent anomalies which may well represent some form of semi-industrial activity, such as pottery production. No evidence for the location of the reported 'lake dwelling' was found during the survey due, perhaps, to the subdued magnetic response over the lower lying wetland areas of the site noted in both the gradiometer data and values of topsoil magnetic susceptibility.
