Description

A geophysical survey undertaken in advance of the construction of a new water supply mains to transfer water between the Wessex Water works at Corfe Mullen, Dorset to Camp Hill Storage Tank near Salisbury, Wiltshire. The specific areas for investigation had been identified in the archaeological strategy produced by Atkins in 2012. (2) It formed part of the archaeological investigation undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology. A total of 36 locations along the proposed pipeline route were surveyed, of which 22 are in Dorset. These were surveyed by detailed gradiometry survey in a 50m corridor and revealed several areas of increased archaeological potential. The record for this event has been created with support from Wessex Water.
