Full description
Griffith, F. M. + Wilkes, E. M., 2016, Hembury, Payhembury Fort, Devon: Geophysical Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV360861.
The earth resistance survey was undertaken over a small area in the north of the hillfort interior in order to assess whether features of Roman date excavated by Todd (1984a; 1984b; 2007) could be detected. Nine 30m x 30m squares were surveyed within the same grid as the magnetic gradiometer survey. There was some overlap with the area surveyed with this technique in 2015.
In the northwest of this survey area, anomaly rF is recorded as a low‐resistance circular feature, c. 6.6 metres diameter. It lies c. 30 metres south west of the eastern entrance into the hillfort. It may relate to a gully associated with a round house.
