ARCHAEOLOGICAL DOWSING
The outline of long-since disappeared buildings and other archaeological features can be located by dowsing.
Also, it is frequently possible to estimate, by dowsing, the dates the building was constructed and demolished, its use, occupancy, number of floors and many other interesting facts.
West Kennet Long Barrow near Silbury Hill, Avebury. A World Heritage Site.If there are traces of the original materials buried under the surface, the location and depth below the surface can be estimated.
Some of Peter Golding's dowsing predictions have already been confirmed by geophysical surveys.
Slimbridge Dowsing Group was invited by an eminent archaeologist to coordinate archaeological dowsers throughout the country in a survey of an Iron Age site near Minsterworth, Gloucestershire. They dowsed over maps and the ground to determine the most promising areas for subsequent geophysical surveys to be conducted.

The Rollrights Stone Circle, Warwickshire.
Slimbridge dowsers visited during
the annual Congress of the BSD in 2007. We were given an explanation
of the circle, and many members dowsed for the energies associated
with the stones.
