TOWER HILL, ASHBURY, OXON. REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, MARCH 1993

Author(s): Neil Linford

A magnetometer survey was conducted over an 0.8ha area centred on the location of a Late Bronze Age hoard of copper alloy objects recovered at Tower Hill, Ashbury, Oxfordshire. It was suggested that the finds may have formed part of a metal worker's hoard and may possibly have been associated with metal working activity at the site. Unfortunately, neither the magnetometer data nor the results from a 2.5ha topsoil magnetic susceptibility survey provided any significant anomalies to substantiate these assumptions or to aid subsequent excavation of the site.
