Description
A rapid differential GPS survey was undertaken of a hut circle, clearance cairns and other features whilst an archaeologist was in the area conducting a watching brief on a site to the north. A Magellan Promark 3 unit was used in mobile mapping mode, with satellite-based differential correction provided by EGNOS. This typically provides sub-metre horizontal accuracy. The results were then corrected against the Ordnance Survey Mastermap data. Features recorded included the hut circle (MHG32600) as well as part of a field boundary wall and clearance cairns. <1>
