## Calanais Geophysical survey of ‘satellite’ circles
A variety of geophysical techniques such as magnetics, resistivity and
conductivity will be used to investigate whether there are sub-surface
features inside or around the circles at Calanais, such as fallen stones
submerged by peat or pits dug into the centre of the circles.
Volunteers will be able to participate in the surveys and learn about the
remote sensing techniques.
No previous experience is required, and you will be provided with all the
training and equipment you need.
The survey will take place between Tuesday 20 July and Sunday 25 July 2021 –
exact times for the event will be added ASAP.
