Abstract

This short report summarizes two seasons of magnetic surveying at the Roman town of Venta Ice-norum at Caistor St Edmund, Norfolk. Survey strategies have been developd utilizing caesium vapour magnetometers mounted on a wheeled platform with a global positioning system to map former areas of settlement and their immediate hinterlands. There sulting survey system has enabled therapid collection of high-resolution magnetic data over an area of 30 ha, providing a detailed magnetic map of the former town. Details of the system configuration and survey strategy are described and data from the survey presented.
