SILCHESTER ROMAN TOWN, HAMPSHIRE. REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, MARCH 2000.
Author(s): Louise Martin
Magnetometer survey was conducted over the central area of Silchester Roman Town (Calleva Atrebatum) as part of investigations into the site by Reading University. The magnetic response was good and negative anomalies in particular have indicated the remains of the street pattern as well as several buildings - including the forum-basilica and a Roman-Celtic temple. Although not adding radically to existing knowledge of the lay-out of the town, the survey has provided valuable additional detail, complementing and extending upon information from previous excavation and aerial photography.
