Site Event/Activity record ECH3478 - Geophysical survey at Ince Manor, Ellesmere Port in 2000 (Phase 1)

The survey was undertaken by Stratascan for the National Museums & Galleries on Merseyside. The survey was also part of an Evaluation of Ince Manor and the Monastic Cottages. Magnotometer used was an FM36 Fluxgate Gradiometer and the Resistance Meter used was an RM15. Geoplot 3 was the software used to prepare the data. The Resistivity survey located a number of high resistance anomalies that may relate to remains of foundations of structures. The Magnotometer survey did not prove to be as successful in the location of structures due to the large amount of magnetic disturbance or debris over the majority of the survey area which masked any more subtle anomalies present.
