SDO15968 - Archaeological geophysical survey at Martin's Down Reservoir, Long Bredy, Dorset March 2013

'Northamptonshire Archaeology was commissioned by Wessexwater to conduct a gradiometer survey close to Martin’s Down Reservoir, on Long Barrow Hill, Long Bredy, Dorset. The proposed survey area covered approximately 7.8ha, of which 5.8ha was actually suitable for survey in June 2012. In March 2013, it was possible to survey Field 3 (1ha). The survey mapped magnetic anomalies arising from a group of scheduled prehistoric barrows, and from a number of associated ditches. Further anomalies, which were detected to the west of Long Barrow Farm, suggested the possible presence of small undated pits.' [See also SDO 14976]
