Abstract:
The works comprised a geomagnetic survey and a smaller resistance survey at Catterick Racecourse. The surveys detected a concentration of anomalies in the north, many of which almost certainly reflected remains associated with the Roman town, especially a well located just to the south, adjacent to a possible early trackway heading towards the fort and vicus. A pipe or drain appeared to connect the well from the east. Probable traces of ridge and furrow remains were identified across much of the site. Additional features detected comprised a probable gully, a relatively recent track and a possible small stone structure. [Au(abr)]
