Resistivity image incorporating later work that illustrates a myriad of features including historic 19th century diagonal walkways, trenches from the park's sprinkler system, the historic fortifications, and linear features that may represent historic pathways. The circular feature that surrounds the current monument, of which a portion corresponds to the GPR evidence, is an intriguing outcome that warrants further investigation.
