Wharram le Street, North Yorkshire. Report on geophysical surveys, February-March 2006.
Author(s): Louise Martin
Geophysical surveys were conducted at Wharram le Street, North Yorkshire to attempt to relocate a crop-mark feature suggestive of a hengiform monument. The area had been surveyed 28 years previously and successfully located considerable Roman settlement, but it was hoped that modern, more sensitive equipment would elucidate earlier activity at the site. Both magnetometry and earth resistance survey recorded a large circular ditch and internal oval anomaly to the W of the head to the Gypsey Race. Part of the Roman activity was re-surveyed and showed good correlation with the existing data, though a newly surveyed area to the E indicated less intense occupation.
