Abstract:		 Caer Vallack: The results of survey show the western half to be generally free of archaeological anomalies apart from pit-like responses. By contrast, the eastern half contains a large rectilinear enclosure and a number of other archaeological type responses. Some of the anomalies were later confirmed by excavation to be both occupational and industrial in nature. It remains unclear on the basis of the geophysics whether the two halves of the enclosure were separate entities or a single kidney-shaped feature. Gear Farm: The magnetic data indicate a plethora of archaeological responses of different periods throughout the hillfort. Although there are numerous presumed Iron Age round houses and enclosure ditches, there is also geophysical evidence for barrows and possible earlier enclosures (the latter interpretation being based on morphology alone). The site is also divided into three by former field boundaries that are thought to be medieval or later in date. There appear to be clear zones of activity within the hillfort, but any interpretation is complicated by the multi-period nature of the results and the sheer intensity of features.
