Geophysical Survey (18 September 2012 - 22 September 2012)
NT 0722 1245 A small scale community geophysical survey was carried out 18–22 September 2012 by volunteers as part of a series of events by Discovering Dumfries and Galloway’s Past, run by the University of Glasgow. The resistance survey recorded a concentration of anomalies to the immediate N of Corehead Farmhouse, all of which probably related to post-medieval agricultural activity. A number of these anomalies could be directly correlated to a sheep pen and field boundaries marked on 1st and 2nd Edition OS maps.
