Full Description
Geophysical survey carried out from 2011 to 2012 found evidence of a number of enclosures around Bourne Park Roman villa.
From the report:
"Around the ‘villa’, a ditched enclosure (‘Enclosure 2’) has now been identified by two (?) parallel positive linear anomalies [33] (probable ditches) on the northern side, a single positive linear [34] (probable ditch) on the western side, and two (?) parallel positive linear anomalies [9] (probable ditches) on the southern side (one of which continues beyond ‘Enclosure 1’. The negative linear anomaly on the eastern side [5] (boundary wall?) has been found to continue to the southeast and terminates at a large dipolar anomaly [5a]. East of the enclosure, positive linear anomalies
[6] were found to continue and in form resemble a structure, which is parallel to boundary wall [5]. Positive linear anomalies [14], [12], and [7] create a separate enclosure (‘Enclosure 3’) (or two enclosures separated by [7]?) with positive linear anomaly [35]. Another enclosure (‘Enclosure 4) is formed by [35], [11], [14], and [5]. The fifth enclosure (‘Enclosure 5’) is formed by positive rectilinear anomaly [36] and contains a possible structure or smaller enclosure [37] represented by positive linear anomalies and two dipolar anomalies at two of the inside corners. Northeast of the fourth enclosure is a faint semi-annular positive anomaly [38]."(1, 2, 3)
