Description
A magnetometer survey was carried out by volunteers from the Suffolk Archaeological Field Group, for the Rendlesham Revealed community archaeology project, led by Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The survey was carried out on 30m grids set out using high accuracy GNSS equipment. A Bartington Grad 601 twin boom gradiometer was used, set to 100nT range. Gradiometer balancing was carried out at single points in three areas of the field where low noise levels were identified. Grids were walked in zig-zag mode at 1m intervals, 4 samples per metre, with sampling approximately 20cm above the ground surface. Data was downloaded from the meter and analysed using Snuffler geophysics software. (S1) (S2)
