Two radar profiles at the Brewhouse area. Both reveal deep echoes on the left side; these may be caused by natural strata in the soil. However, the irregular echo pattern within the 4 meter span on the right side of each profile is probably caused by a cultural modification of the soil. However, the former excavations in this area do not appear to have found anything unusual there.
