BURNFOOT FARM, LONGTOWN, CUMBRIA, REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, AUGUST 2000
Author(s): Paul Linford, Neil Linford
Following the discovery of a Roman altar capital in about 1970 during gravel excavations on the banks of the River Esk near Longtown in Cumbria, a geophysical survey was carried out to try and establish whether crop marks visible in the adjacent field at Burnfoot Farm might be related to Roman occupation in the area. Unfortunately, only a very few anomalies were detected and it was not clear whether they relate to the crop marks. It is probable that this lack of success was due to the alluvial nature of the site.
