Abstract:		 The geophysical survey was successful in not only pinpointing Withington Villa but also in identifying an extensive complex of archaeological features extending across all three fields investigated. The actual wall foundations associated with Withington Villa do not show particularly well in the resistance data, due to a lack of moisture contrast; but the footprint of the villa is visible as an area of magnetic noise. There are several ditches forming rectilinear enclosures that presumably relate to the villa and there is a complex of curvilinear ditches and substantial pits of uncertain date. The 'ancillary' site provided some exciting results, particularly with regard to the resistance survey. At first it was believed that the site was a bath house complex but as the survey expanded it became clear that a much larger building was present; in fact the scale suggests that this must be a villa building in its own right. The third field also revealed surprising responses. A series of linear anomalies, perhaps associated with ditches and/or culverts, cross the field apparently linking Withington Villa with a known 'well'. The latter may in fact be the site of a temple or shrine; resistance survey suggested the presence of stone structures though the exact nature remains unclear.
