dc.description.abstract A geophysical survey was conducted on 19 October 2013 at Gallows Hill in Lunenburg. This grim toponym is somewhat of an archaism, for the site is better recognized today as the perch of the iconic Lunenburg Academy. Prior to the school's construction, this hilltop was military property, and historical mapping suggests elements of the town's early defenses were located here. It appears that our survey has located some of these early military features, revealing part of a large structure as well as a faint trace of what may be to be a palisade line associated with the town's original defensive circuit. en_CA
