Undated possible round house at Radwinter Paddock (EHER 49695)

Please read our .

Summary

Magnetometry and resistivity surveys were undertaken by Archaeology Rhee Search Group in 2017 south east of Radwinter. This survey has three circular features, highlighted in the image on the right, and an area of magnetic noise, which is often associated with demolition debris, on the E side. The circular feature (about 10 m diameter) in the NE has a strong anomaly inside. The South paddock survey also shows a network of linear features. The aerial photograph is thought to date to about 1953 and covers most of the survey sites. The circular features detected in the S paddock magnetometry survey are likely to be associated with the military activity but the NE feature in particular has characteristics of a roundhouse with a central hearth.

Description

October 2017. Geophysical survey. Magnetometry and resistivity surveys were undertaken by Archaeology Rhee Search Group in 2017 south-east of Radwinter. This survey has three circular features, highlighted in the image on the right, and an area of magnetic noise, which is often associated with demolition debris, on the east side. The circular feature (about 10m diameter) in the north-east has a strong anomaly inside. The south paddock survey also shows a network of linear features. The aerial photograph is thought to date to about 1953 and covers most of the survey sites. The circular features detected in the south paddock magnetometry survey are likely to be associated with the military activity but the north-east feature in particular has characteristics of a roundhouse with a central hearth. <1>
