Hemington 2015 Under Hardington Vale: A decade of geophysics around Upper Row Farm, Hemington, Somerset, 2001 – 2011
Geophysical survey of the area centred on Upper Row Farm in the eastern part of the parish of Hemington in Somerset started in 2001 alongside the excavations on Blacklands. Many fields within an area about 0.5 km square were subject to both magnetometry and resistance survey, and a number of outlying sites were also investigated. The survey covered a decade in time. The picture derived from the complete survey gave a good idea of prehistoric, Roman and medieval activity in this area.
