Abstract:		 A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 6 hectares was undertaken at twelve locations, on land to the east of the village of Whittonstall, Northumberland, prior to the submission of a planning application for a proposed surface mine. The only definite archaeological features revealed by the survey are in Block 1 which was targeted over a cropmark interpreted as a possible Iron Age enclosure. Linear anomalies caused by the outer enclosure ditch are clearly identifiable. Discrete anomalies within the enclosure may locate features such as pits or areas of burning. In Block 2 no anomalies consistent with the presence of a possible Roman fort have been identified. Numerous anomalies have also been identified in all the remaining survey blocks. However, without any other supporting archaeological information, these anomalies are interpreted as being due to geological or topographical variation, agricultural practice or modern activity, probably associated with small scale, localised extractive industry. The survey has clearly demonstrated the potential for magnetometer survey to identify areas of archaeological activity on the soils and geology at this site.
