Abstract:		 A detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey was undertaken by Britannia Archaeology Ltd in two separate fields from the 3rd - 14th February 2014. A wide range of geophysical anomalies were recorded, however isolated dipolar responses were most numerous. These anomalies are believed to have been caused by modern ferrous cultural debris being introduced into the topsoil through manuring and loss rather than resulting from the presence of buried archaeological artefacts. The survey within the southern field revealed four areas of magnetic disturbance, one weak negative linear trend (service run), three strong dipolar discretes demarcating existing overhead electric cable poles, six weak broad positive anomalies of geological origin and one large circular weak broad negative anomaly interpreted as a potential pond. Six positive discrete anomalies (potential rubbish pit type features) and seven linears in total of probable archaeological origin were recorded. Two of the linears were located on a similar alignment and in close proximity with recorded cropmarks. One positive linear anomaly is believed to be the remains of a back-filled ditch recorded on the 1955 - 1960 OS Map. The northern field contained three areas of magnetic disturbance, three dipolar linear trends that delineate the location of buried ferrous service pipes and seventeen weak broad positive anomalies indicative of natural variations within the superficial geology. Eight positive discretes, two positive linears and three curvilinear anomalies (potential ring-ditch type features) are believed to be of an archaeological origin. A large amount of burnt flint and pottery sherds were noted by the surveyors in the north-western quarter of the southern field and the northern half of the field to the north.
