Queen Camel, Somerset: Report on Geophysical Survey, November 2008
Author(s): Andy Payne
A geophysical survey was conducted over the location of a segment of tessellated pavement partially uncovered following metal detector finds in an arable field at Queen Camel, Somerset. Magnetometer and earth resistance surveys were undertaken to help further define the extent and character of the Roman activity, and to inform the on-going management of the site in light of the potential threat from plough damage and unsupervised treasure hunting. The geophysical surveys revealed the presence of a large, aisled hall type Roman building containing the mosaic and apparently set within a more extensive system of angular ditched enclosures.
