CANSFORD QUARRY, CORNWALL, REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, 1997
Author(s): Neil Linford
A magnetometer survey was conducted at Cansford Quarry, Otterham, Cornwall, in response to a request from the Inspector of Ancient Monuments to investigate archaeological activity in the vicinity of three Bronze Age Barrows. Topographic anomalies over the site suggested the possibility of three additional monuments, but the survey failed to reveal any significant magnetic response in these areas. A pattern of intense linear anomalies dominated much of the survey area and is attributed to either a recent agricultural effect or to natural geological variation.
