Description
A ground resistance survey was carried out by Tim Dennis in March 2007 around the Garrison Church, Military Road. <1>
Although multiple survey techniques, ideally magnetic gradiometry and ground resistance would have been desirable, only the latter was practical because of the urban location and the proximity of the fence of iron railings and other nearby ferrous objects, including utility feeds. The survey used a TR Systems instrument, working in twin probe configuration with fixed reference electrodes and mobile recording electrodes.
The survey produced defined a number of features, the principal one being the path shown in the 1876 map of the area. This was subsequently confirmed by trial-trenched evaluation in April 2007. <2>
