Description

Programme of geophysical survey, topographic survey and dowsing carried out by Archaeology in Marlow from March 2005 to May 2008. Geophysical survey in fields within the eastern half of the hillfort failed to identify any traces of internal settlement, although a couple of magnetic anomalies were tentaively interpreted as a possible banjo enclosure, approx 45m in diameter. See reports for detail (B18-19).
