Description

Geophysical Surveys of Bradford were commissioned to undertake a pilot geophysical survey in July 1993. Successful detection of anomalies by magnetic survey led to the commissioning of a gradiometer survey of the 1994 excavation site in September 1993. The survey occupied four fields, Areas A to D, totalling approximately 13 ha. NRHE data transfer: Three stage excavation carried out in advance of housing development taking place within the Roman town. Project funded in part by Bovis Homes. Finds to go to Colchester Museum. Work included geophysical survey (EHGSDB Visit No: 2394).
