Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey across targeted areas of a proposed wind farm near Swinford, Leicestershire. The survey was carried out using a Bartington Grad601-2 dual fluxgate gradiometer over 20m x 20m grids with a sample interval of 0.25m along transects spaced 1m apart. The survey was successful in detecting a number of anomalies of possible archaeological potential within the study area. In general, the site was magnetically quiet with a consistent background level across all the areas surveyed. The main anomalies identified of potential archaeological interest are numbers 4009 (turbine 4), a pair of roughly linear features with an associated area of magnetic disturbance, 4019 (turbine 9) a sinuous linear feature with associated spur and 4022 (turbine 10), a trio of linear and curvilinear anomalies. All these identified anomalies are thought to be backfilled negative linear features that represent either former boundaries or hollow-ways. In addition, the survey has confirmed the presence of former ridge and furrow ploughing systems across most of the site, enhancing the known extent of these systems beyond that previously thought.
