THE WEST KENNET LONG BARROW, WILTSHIRE; REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, JANUARY 2001

Author(s): Louise Martin

A magnetometer survey of approximately 3.5 hectares was carried out around West Kennet long barrow, Wiltshire. It was hoped that the ditches and any associated features would be defined and located. The survey successfully identified the barrow ditches, but no other directly related responses. Some possible pits were located in dispersed groups to the east of the mound, and a large anomaly was recorded some 45m to the south of the barrow. The relationship of these various features to the barrow remains uncertain but would be worth further investigation.
