Abstract:		 Gradiometer survey located a number of linear and pit-type responses which were thought to have been of possible archaeological interest. However, some of these lacked a clear form, and any interpretation was tentative. The data also contained a large number of trends, although only the most coherent were noted. A group of these did show a broad correlation with the putative line of the Roman road and may, therefore have been archaeological. However, these may equally have been due to other causes such as ploughing. Two linear ferrous responses, interpreted as pipes/services, had also been located. These lay close to the line of the presumed road and would have masked weaker archaeological responses if present. Resistance survey detected a band of high resistance readings, which coincided with the presumed line of the Roman road and an extant linear ridge. This zone of high resistance may have represented a road or track, or possibly a former field boundary. The data also contained responses which corresponded with probable pipes noted by gradiometry and appeared to cut through the band of high resistance readings. A zone of low resistance corresponded with a path of boggy ground. [Au(adp)][
