Projects
The DCRG has worked on a range of projects from topographical surveys through to major research on sites and their environment. The project at Lulworth Castle consisted of extensive topographical and geophysical surveys to locate the lost 12th century castle, the 18th century ornamental gardens and the demolished village of East Lulworth. The most recent project was a topographical and resistivity survey on a medieval paddock attached to a Manor House, recording the associated fields and enclosures.
