Cogden Hall Project

What is next:

Once we have the Geophys survey data, next years activities at Cogden Hall will be planned during the first quarter of 2012.

See: Activities Page

Maps to be drawn. 

Check out our current activities.

What has been done:

06/12/11 Two 100mx100m squares and a 100mx50m rectangle 'geophysed' using Bartington Fluxgate Magnetic Field Gradiometers

08/10/11: Old OS map images added.

Survey Days 1 and 2: On 22/9/11 and 06/10/11 SWAAG members completed an initial GPS survey of the major earthworks. See Image. This data will be used in future map generation.

October 2010: SWAAG had a GPS training day when Trevor Pearson from the Yorkshire CBA demonstrated their professional grade surveying equipment. We were also able to compare SWAAG's methodology using 'high end' Garmin hand held units (GPSmap 60CSx). This exercise confirmed the suitability of this grade of GPS to map earthworks down to approximately 4 metres. All SWAAG maps are drawn using this technique. Details are available on this page.
