Silchester Environs Project, Little London Roman Tilery, Pamber, Hampshire: Report on Geophysical Survey, July 2015
Author(s): Neil Linford, Paul Linford, Andy Payne
Caesium magnetometer and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys were conducted as part of the University of Reading Silchester Environs Project survey programme over a suspected Roman tile production site, based on earlier finds of Roman tile waster material, at Little London, Pamber, Hampshire. Results from both techniques were partially affected by known C19th clay pit workings associated with the brick making industry in the area, although beyond this disturbance the vehicle towed caesium magnetometer survey (5ha) identified linear anomalies and a cluster of high magnitude discrete thermoremanent responses characteristic of the remains of a group of kiln type structures. GPR survey (3.1ha) provided complementary detail of the anomalies mapped by the magnetometer survey and the historical land use of the area.
