Site Event/Activity record EEM14525 - MS, RS - Spooners, Exmoor

Gradiometer and resistance surveys were undertaken on Spooners, Exmoor, located in an area which has recently been subject to peat restoration. The survey area was laid out in an L-shape around the find spot of a potential Mesolithic hammer stone (MEM22498). An electromagnetic methodology was also trialled on site using a CMD Mini-Explorer. The conductivity data showed clear potential for success, having recorded similar responses to the resistance survey and clearly defining the drainage channels. The magnetic susceptibility was less clear-cut and revealed very little.
