Bucklebury, West Berkshire: Report on Geophysical Survey 2003

Author(s): A D H Bartlett

This survey was carried out to investigate the site of a suspected Roman building and its surroundings. A resistivity survey showed strong disturbances at a location corresponding to the assumed site of the building, as indicated by previous surface finds. This part of the site did not, however, produce any substantial magnetic response of the kind to be expected from building debris which could include tiles or a hypocaust. A possibility therefore remains that the resistivity findings are partly or wholly non-archaeological in origin, and that any structural remains which are present lie further to the east in a part of the site which produced a number of magnetic anomalies. A more extensive resistivity survey would be needed to test this possibility.
