Reculver Towers Sea Defences, Reculver, Kent: Report on Geophysical Survey, November 2020
Author(s): Neil Linford
A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was conducted over the sea defences protecting the cliff immediately below the site of Reculver Towers, Reculver, Kent. The survey was requested by the English Heritage Trust who manage the site and are in the process of conducting consolidation and repair works to the monument. The aim of the GPR survey (0.001ha) was to assist with the identification of any possible voids within the sea defence that may impair the protection of the cliff from impact of coastal erosion. Results from the survey were compromised by the uneven nature of the ragstone apron surface and restricted access over areas of the site covered by sea weed. Site conditions appear to have deteriorated since an earlier GPR survey in 2008 with much reduced areas of safe access, although there is some limited correlation between anomalous responses between the two data sets.
