Geophysical investigations
were performed to provide subsurface images
using a
400MHz GSSI SIR 3000 GPR system and a Geometrics
G-858 magnetometer in
gradiometer mode. Lines
were spaced at 0.5m to provide complete
coverage of the survey area.
The GPR
profiles show an anomalous response near the
location of the suspected mass burial
(right) and another anomalous response in
the northwestern portion of the survey area
(below, right). The magnetometer
reponses show multiple clusters of small
magnetic anomalies. Of particular
interest at this site, are the anomalies
located in the northeastern corner as these
may be caused by foundation stones of a
church which was located on the site in the
1700s.
