ADG Field trips 2009
There are several sites around the country that would benefit from a dowsing survey, before the archaeologists get to work on them. Do contact us if you are interested in helping with a dowsing survey on these sites.

12/13th. September 2009
ADG Field Trip to Hill Farm, Gestingthorpe, Essex. CO9 3BL
John Baker and Colin Peal will lead a field trip for experienced archaeological dowsers to this arable farm noted for it's countryside stewardship. Excavations by the farmer/landowner from 1947-77 in one field revealed evidence of a substantial Roman settlement including foundations of a villa.

A club room with toilets etc. adjacent to the Roman Museum at Hill Farm will be available to us.

Gathering point on Friday and Saturday evenings will be the Bell Inn, Castle Hedingham, about three miles from the site, where we can have pub grub and drinks in a room of our own. You will need to supply your own daytime food and drink. There is a kettle is on site.
Please bring large measuring tapes and flag markers or similar, if you have them.

Cost £5.00 per day for BSD members, £10.00 per day for non members. This charge helps cover Public Liability insurance etc.

Contact Colin Peal for further details, including local B&Bs : colin.peal@btinternet.com Tel 01787 460644

Buxton, Derbyshire.

The Romans called Buxton ‘Aqua Arnumetiae', meaning the Goddess of the water and grove. Arnu or Danu was the original goddess that lived in Buxton before ending up in Ireland. She presided over three wells; a healing spring, hot water spring (St Annes Well) and a fresh water spring, which along with her ‘Temple' have never been found. A potential trip could investigate Poole's Cavern and the surrounding Iron Age Fortress for clues. Many stone circles are in the vicinity of this area.

Calstock , Cornwall: The University of Exeter were researching medieval silver mining at Bere Feres in Devon, when they found a document referring to an Iron Age ‘castra' at Calstock in Cornwall. Near the church they found, not an Iron Age enclosure, but a large Roman fort. It would be good to examine this by dowsing to see if the interior is typical of other Roman forts and to find the connections with roads, rivers and the sea.
