OLD WARDOUR CASTLE, WILTSHIRE, REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, 1997
Author(s): Neil Linford
Earth resistance survey was conducted at both 0.5m and 1.0m mobile probe spacings at Old Wardour Castle, Wiltshire, to assist Historic Properties (SW) with development proposals at the site. Unfortunately, interpretation of the survey data was hampered by areas of disturbance possibly related to either the location of former out-buildings within the bailey or landscaping associated with the 18th century formal garden. The survey did, however, identify a number of anomalies apparently related to the original design of this garden. Further geophysical survey is not recommended until ambiguous anomalies within the current data set can be investigated through trial excavation.
