Hinton St Mary Roman Villa, Dorset: Report on Geophysical Surveys, April 2023

Author(s): Megan Clements, Neil Linford, Paul Linford, Andy Payne

Earth Resistance and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys were conducted at Hinton St Mary, Sturminster Newton, Dorset, as part of wider works to place the Hinton St Mary Roman Villa and mosaic into a greater landscape context. The earth resistance survey (1.1ha) identified two buildings along with several ditches, drains and a modern pipe in addition to areas of landscaped ground and geological variation. The vehicle towed GPR survey (2.4ha) identified a limited number of fragmented responses to features mainly identified as drains during the excavation.
