Site Event/Activity record ESF29019 - Ground Penetrating Survey - Abbey Farm, Hoxne

2019: In October 2019, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out detailed ground penetrating radar survey (0.0819 hectares) within the Scheduled Monument of Hoxne Priory. Four survey areas to the northwest, north and northeast (Fig.3) of the farmhouse were targeted. These were located on the lawn to the north of the driveway where the 2017 GPR survey results had been affected by a technical error (Area 1), the driveway/turning circle to the north of the house (Area 6), a concrete pad (Area 7) and the closest part of a grass field to the northeast of the house (Area 8). An Utsi Electronics Trivue GPR that combines three ground-coupled antenna at 250MHz, 500MHz and 1GHz central frequencies was employed. The antenna was strapped to a skid pad and pushed in the centre of a four-wheeled cart. Data were recorded at 0.04m inline sample intervals along 0.50m traverse separations. (S1)
