Full description

Dean, R., 2015, Land at Portledge House, Fairy Cross, Alwington: An Archaeological Gradiometer and Earth-resistance Survey (Report - Geophysical Survey). SDV360942.

This report was commissioned as part of a programme of archaeological works undertaken in support of a planning application at Land at Portledge House, Fairy Cross, Alwington.

Within the area of the walled garden, one possible rectangular magnetic anomaly group and one multi-linear magnetic group may represent former garden features.

Magnetic anomaly group 6 may reflect a rectangular, earth-filled structure or hollow. Group 7 coincides with 6 but no clear relationship could be established between the two groups.

Group 12 has characteristics in keeping with ditches or robbed-out wall footings and may relate to a former building or garden feature.
