Haydons Field, East Harptree, Somerset. Report on Geophysical Survey, July 2008
Author(s): Andy Payne
Geophysical survey was carried out over a series of earthworks in Haydons Field, East Harptree, Somerset, thought to be the remains of a shrunken medieval settlement. Results from a magnetometer survey enhanced the interpretation of the recorded earthwork features and suggested evidence for the location of linear property boundaries, the layout of streets and possible building remains. Earth resistance survey provided some useful additional detail including evidence of a further roadway not clearly resolved in the magnetic data. The geophysical survey suggests that the modern village of East Harptree retains the street plan of the earlier Medieval settlement in Haydons Field.
