BREAMORE, HAMPSHIRE: REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, AUGUST 2000
Author(s): Louise Martin
Magnetometer and earth resistance surveys were carried out over the find-spots of Anglo-Saxon artefacts found in the vicinity of a low mound near Breamore, Hampshire, to try and characterise the site and help determine a programme of test-pitting. No pits or ditches were certainly located, but the magnetometer survey recorded numerous responses to ferrous objects, some of which may be of ancient origin, as suggested by subsequent test pits. Other anomalies were shown to be probably caused by relatively modern ferrous debris. The earth resistance survey was hampered by very dry ground conditions and was not informative. The possibility that the mound may represent a re-used prehistoric barrow could not be confirmed.
