SDO9527 - Poundbury, Dorchester

Scanning indicated that the site was generally magnetically quiet, although a slight increase in background noise levels was observed in the ploughed field. Few anomalies of archaeological potential were identified, and none of these corresponded to the cropmark features. The detailed survey confirms the observations made during scanning. There is no clear evidence in the data for the cropmark features. Although a number of ditch and pit type anomalies have been highlighted, the responses are very weak, with some barely discernible above background levels. consequently, an archaeological interpretation remains tentative.
