Abstract:		 The results of a desk-based assessment, walkover survey and geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land off Shiremoor Hill, Merriott in Somerset, as part of the pre-planning requirements for a proposed residential development. The desk-based assessment, walkover survey and geophysical survey all compliment one another's evidence regarding the presence of historic and relict field boundaries on the site. The surveys indicate there are features of archaeological origin present within the area of the proposed development associated with a mid 19th century field system. A number of linear anomalies in the geophysical survey are not accounted for in the cartographic evidence though their alignment is contiguous with that of the surrounding field system and suggests that they may be attributable to an earlier field system based on medieval strip fields associated with the development of Merriott. Any development is likely to disturb these archaeological deposits or remains alluded to by the geophysical survey. These deposits and features appear however to be of low significance, and it is not believed that further archaeological investigated is warranted.
