Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land either side of Law Lane, near Muchelney in Somerset. The project was commissioned by Somerset County Council with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of the proposed raising of the level of Law Lane as part of the 20 year Flood Action Plan. The site comprises four pasture fields on the western edge of Muchelney and approximately 1.6km to the south of Langport, centred on NGR 342575, 124775. The site spans an area of flat land within the Somerset Levels either side of the River Parrett. The site was clear of vegetation and most fields were accessible at the time of surveying. The gradiometer survey covered an area measuring 3.65ha whioch was targeted on the areas to be directly impacted by the proposed wideing and raising of Law Lane and in areas of higher archaeological potential.The survey has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of likely, probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area along with areas of superficial geology and a former field boundary. One clear archaeological feature has been identified in the southern field which has been identified in the desk-based assessment as the remains of Galley farm. Remains of possible brick walls and ditches have been identified in this area The geophysical data has largely revealed agricultural features with a former field boundary, several ceramic field drains and a concentration of ploughing trends detected in the southern field. The survey was undertaken between 21st and 22nd August 2014.
