Site Event/Activity record ECH5963 - Geophysical survey and Excavation at the Bridestones Neolithic Chambered long cairn

A history of the site and comparison of the monument with other neolithic monuments of similar type and a report of magnetometry and resistivity survey undertaken on the field to the south of the monuments and to the north of Dial Lane. The survey revealed anomalies consistent with pit or pit like features, which were interpreted as possible evidence for a stone circle to the south of the monument. Subsequent excavations undertaken to investigate a sample of the geophysical anomalies revealed a relativeley modern wall and a pit like feature of natural origin.
