NS 9190 7940 The characteristic responses produced by the Antonine Ditch along other sections of the Wall are not present at Mumrills, where the feature is barely visible in both magnetic and resistance datasets. The reasons for this are uncertain but natural factors are likely to be responsible. By contrast, the Rampart has produced very distinct magnetic and resistance anomalies, suggestive of an (at least partially) intact base. Evidence for the Military Way is highly tentative and apparent only in the resistance data for two of the survey areas. Both survey techniques have produced generally well defined anomalies associated with the fort ditches and a formerly excavated building inside the fort; in both cases the magnetic results show the greater amount of detail.
