Fiskerton, Witham Valley, Lincolnshire. Report on Ground Penetrating Radar Survey, January 2003

Author(s): Neil Linford

A limited trial GPR survey was conducted over the suspected course of a wooden causeway buried within peaty soils close to the village of Fiskerton, Lincolnshire. Anomalies identified within the GPR data correlate directly with responses recorded by previous magnetic and earth resistance surveys conducted over the same area, although none of these are related to the location of the causeway itself. The failure of geophysical techniques to identify the timber causeway may be due either to the slight physical contrast between the organic remains and the surrounding peaty soil or, perhaps, the destruction of the monument through recent agricultural activity.
