As part of Fort Loudoun Historic Site’s future planning, site investigations continue to be performed. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys of the entire property were performed 2023-2025 by the FIWF's "archaeologist of record", M3 Archaeology, LLC, headed by Mark Michael Ludlow, Registered Professional Archaeologist, Mike Kehoe, Archaeologist/Historian, and a team of dedicated volunteers.
Evidence of the northwest bastion is visible in the western GPR scans, as well as anomalies that will be further investigated. Metal detection of the site has been performed, and a Shovel Test Pit (STP) Survey was completed in 2025. See the below reports for details. Artifacts are identified and recorded in the Fort Loudoun Artifact Inventory List.
