Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Restrop Road in Purton, Wiltshire. The project was commissioned byPersimmon Homes with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of a proposed development. The site comprises of apasture field approximately 240metres southwest of Purton village centre. The site occupies a field due east of Restrop Road and south of Red Gables Close.The gradiometer survey covered 0.86ha and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with areas of increased magnetic response. Several clusters of pit-like anomalies have been identified within the dataset; an archaeological origin cannot be ruled out for these anomalies although natural or agricultural processes may cause similar responses. Two linear anomalies, oriented N-S and E-W, can be seen across the centre of the site. One of these corresponds with a historic field boundary and an existing manhole cover lies along the line of the other, suggesting that these anomalies are not likely to be of significant archaeological interest. Several linear trends can be seen within the dataset, although it is possible that these relate to agricultural activity or near-surface geological changes.
