BRUE VALLEY HOARD, SHAPWICK, GLASTONBURY, SOMERSET, REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, 1998
Author(s): Paul Linford
A geophysical survey was carried out at the request of Bob Croft, County Archaeologist for Somerset, after a hoard of over 9000 Roman silver coins was discovered in a field near Glastonbury. The results showed that an extensive building occupied the site, likely to have been a Roman courtyard villa. Further evidence for ditches and pits suggest that the area was intensively exploited in the Roman period and an additional network of broader ditches may have its origins in the prehistoric period.
