Geophysical survey in the grounds of Dartington Hall, Devon
No full textA geophysical survey was conducted at Dartington Hall (Devon) with the aim of locating and mapping buried structural remains associated with the Hall. The survey focused on two survey areas – the lawn immediately to the east of the Hall, and an area within the lower gardens of the Hall grounds. The survey successfully located a number of archaeological features associated with the kitchen buildings and east range of the Hall, together with other structures to the east of the main complex

No full textA survey of Abbey House, Palace Green, Durham was conducted in an attempt to chronicle the phases of development in a town house which probably had its origins in the 12th century. This review of the property, although not a full structural survey, attempts to indicate those features visible in the town-house, which has undergone many changes throughout its life. Its location adjacent to the Cathedral implies an importance which is reflected in the changing styles of polite architecture. Some of these changes were evident during the survey, but others were either ambiguous or hidden beneath later feature or modifications. Perhaps more importantly the medieval origins still remain to some extent, even though relatively recent refurbishment has covered some of the vital evidence. Above all Abbey House perhaps characterises the often forgotten principle that all buildings should be regarded as entities, which reflect the mood and styles of the times

No full textAn area of unimproved heathland on Hartington Moor situated some 250m above OD on the higher western limit of the Wansbeck drainage basin, was chosen for archaeological survey as a piece of landscape intermediate between the higher uplands to west and north and the lower claylands of central and coastal Northumberland. The aim of the survey was to assess the extent and nature of the upstanding archaeology and associated patterns of land-use. Our methodology combined field-walking with detailed planning of important monuments and basic documentary research. Results indicated a range of settlement nuclei and associated land-use across the moorland, the whole forming an archaeological landscape, with a sequence of sites dating from the Neolithic onwards including quite intensive occupation of the area in the Bronze Age and Iron Age through to the period of Roman occupation. A change in the pattern of settlement seems to have then taken place, with a decrease in the nuclei represented in the archaeology, and a shift from mixed agriculture to pasture
