Shelford Manor, Shelford, Nottinghamshire Report on Geophysical Survey, October-November 2007

Author(s): Neil Linford, Louise Martin

A geophysical survey was carried out over the scheduled site (SAM No. NT139) to the south of the former Augustinian Priory at Shelford Manor, Shelford, Nottinghamshire, which contains a wealth of crop mark activity identified from the aerial photographic (AP) record. An area of 8.5ha was covered by a caesium magnetometer survey and successfully identified a wide range of anomalies to complement and extend the existing AP evidence. The site would appear to represent a palimpsest of prehistoric and Romano-British enclosures, with the later phase of activity being more fully represented in the geophysical data. This survey was undertaken as part of a collaborative research project to compare different geophysical methods for archaeological and mineral resource evaluation funded through the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund.
