Gannock Castle Geophysical Survey
 Location: Bedfordshire





29 June 2005
 Gannock Castle Geophysical Survey
Venue: Gannock Castle

A geophysical survey of the castle site and adjoining playing field was carried out on 29th June 04 (not 05 as the date above). This took a day to complete and the geophysical engineers kindly stayed on to explain their survey equipment and the results to the villagers. They carried out a Resistivity and Magnetometer survey.

Evidence was found of settlement and farming in the past.

There was great interest from the residents of Tempsford and surrounding villages. Having seen this on television so often, it was exciting to see it live in their own area.
