Caerwent, South Wales
GSB and Time Team visited Caerwent
(Venta Silurum), one of the best preserved Roman towns
in Britain. Here we tried out a relatively new piece of equipment, the
Foerster Ferex magnetometer and the GPR results were amazing!

What we found
As much of the town has been previously excavated
Time Team concentrated on 2 areas; Insula I and XIV.
A remarkably clear plan of a villa was located within
Insula I in both the magnetometer and GPR data, the latter showing
internal walls and rooms (see left).
Results from Insula XIV show a complex of wall
foundations likely to be associated with shops.
