BIGNOR ROMAN VILLA, WEST SUSSEX. REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS, OCTOBER 1998 AND MAY 1999.
Author(s): Neil Linford, Louise Martin
An earth resistance survey was conducted over the location of Roman building remains at Bignor Roman Villa, West Sussex, in October 1998, in advance of excavation by the University College London Field Archaeology Unit. Following this initial visit a further survey was conducted in May 1999 to field test a Pulse Ekko Ground Penetrating Radar and a Scintrex Smartmag caesium magnetometer. In addition a small geometric mosaic, currently threatened by apparent subsidence, was surveyed with the GPR to establish whether a hypocaust may survive beneath the undisturbed floor level. It was hoped that this information would assist with the on going conservation of this mosaic.
