RICHBOROUGH, KENT: REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS, SEPTEMBER 2001
Author(s): Louise Martin
Magnetometer survey was conducted over an area of 18.7 ha at Richborough, Kent, during 2001, and has demonstrated the survival of an extensive and complex pattern of settlement activity, roadways and enclosures. There is an emphasis of activity to either side of Watling Street and ribbon development is apparent along other roadways. Areas with noticeably weaker magnetic responses seem to be associated with outlying field systems. The evidence for structural remains is poor however, and a pilot earth resistance survey did not clearly define any building foundations. Future fieldwork should include more extended coverage by both methods, to locate structural remains and to fully define the limits of settlement activity.
