Abstract:		 AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Hindhaughhomes to undertake an archaeological geophysical (gradiometer) survey to investigate the potential for buried archaeological remains on a proposed development area in Amble, Northumberland (centred at NU 2604 0334). A total of 9 hectares were surveyed and the results of the survey have identified a number of anomalies. The results of the survey identified no definitive archaeological anomalies within the survey area. A number of tentative discrete linear, rectilinear and curvilinear trends of possible archaeology have been located within the survey. Several responses of unclear origin were also recorded although these responses are considered to be most likely the result of geotechnical trenches and boreholes and previous open cast mining remains. A number of agricultural anomalies have been observed in the data including a former field boundary and a second possible field division as well as ridge and furrow ploughing and more conventional ploughing trends. Clear linear trends of field drainage have also been detected in a herringbone shape within the survey. Several modern services of most likely pipes were recorded close to the herringbone drainage and could be culverts. Associated manhole covers were also detected and visible on the surface in these locations. An area of magnetic disturbance most likely the result of a former railway was also recorded as was the edge of the former opencast boundary. Throughout the survey area isolated dipolar anomalies or ferrous (iron spikes) were also recorded most likely the result of manuring and modern effects.
