Description
A geophysical survey was undertaken as part of the 'Othona' environs project. The geophysical survey consisted of detailed magnetometry of the fort and its immediate environs and topsoil magnetic susceptibility (ms) measurements of the 42 hectares of arable land within the study area. The results of the ms survey were then compared with the fieldwalking results (see EEX61573) and corresponding areas identified in both surveys as being of interest were then targeted with further detailed magnetometry.
