Keep Yard, Dover Castle, Kent: Report on Geophysical Survey, June 2008
Author(s): Neil Linford, Louise Martin
A geophysical survey was conducted within the Keep Yard, Dover Castle, Kent to determine whether any evidence for former buildings remains or drainage features associated with the medieval castle could be revealed. Magnetic, earth resistance and ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys were used, although every technique was in part hampered by the physical restrictions of the site. Linear anomalies possibly associated with historic drainage features and former building remains were revealed by the earth resistance survey and these were, partially, corroborated by the GPR data. Comparison with historic mapping data suggests some of the anomalies are comparatively recent and more significant remains may well, perhaps, have been obscured to geophysical techniques through the subsequent levelling of the site.
