Geophysics day six – phase one surveys all but complete

It was a damp end to day six of the Ness geophysics project – but the wetter conditions, and the weekend rainfall, were more conducive to the resistivity scans.

Six more 20-metre-square grids were completed today, meaning that most of the excavation site has now been resurveyed at a higher resolution than previously. Tomorrow, among other things, we intend to return to a section beside and over Trench P to carry out “depth” resistivity scans to clarify some of the anomalies noted in last week’s results.

The second of our geophysics open afternoons also takes place tomorrow, part of our National Lottery Heritage Fund-funded Past, Present and Future outreach project.
