INTERPRETING THE RESULTS
THE CIRCLE IS MY INTERPRETATION OF WHERE THE ANOMALY LIES. THE RECTANGLE IS WHERE THJE TARMAC AREA STARTS, AND SHOWS CONSIDTENTLY LIGHTER SHADING GENERALLY.
ARCHAEOLOGY SURVEY - PHASE TWO
​
When the archaeology team came to the potential Roman site a few weeks ago they had a technical problem with one of their machines, the ground magnetometer.
This meant that they were only able to do half of the work they intended to complete. We now have a date for them to do the second half of the work. Saturday 18th May.
It also means that anyone who wanted to come to the site visit last time but couldn't make it, has another chance. I will give a short talk and show people around at 11am.
It will take about half an hour and I and the team will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
If you want to be included in this site visit, please email me using conduitzzz@outlook.com and I'll put your names on the list.
I was very lucky to acquire this ink drawing of Temple House grounds. It was sent to a Mr J. E. Barker, 8 Maple Street, Cheetham.
Presumably drawn by the person who sent it, it has a short note , in French, signed, simply, George.
It shows the grounds of the house, the lake and, in the distance, what appears to be the tower of St John's Church on Waterloo Road. that would mean the point of view was from somewhere alongside Cheetham Hill Road, looking approximately northwest. This is the actual size of the card
