Description
May 2021. Resistivity survey.
A geophysical resistivity survey was undertaken at Carmen Street Paddocks as part of the Great Chesterford Environs Resistivity Project. Readings were suggestive of possible structures, and linear routeways that perhaps have their origins within the walled town. These appear together with a cluster of low resistance features, which perhaps suggest a spring site that formerly fed the tributary watercourse and which on old maps coincide with the siting of recent pond features. <1>
