Abstract:		 Detailed fluxgate gradiometer survey was undertaken by Britannia Archaeology Ltd over one agricultural field (c.5.9 hectares) on the 6th - 8th May 2014. Despite the sites high potential for encountering remains of a prehistoric origin, only a relatively narrow range of anomalies were recorded, of which only a few have a potential archaeological derivation. Isolated dipolar responses were most numerous and probably relate to the introduction of modern ferrous cultural debris into the topsoil. Fourteen areas of magnetic disturbance were recorded, some of which were caused by ferrous material on the boundary, two electric pylons and magnetic material probably associated with a demolished abattoir. A series of weak positive linear trends indicative of agricultural strip fields or periglacial 'patterned ground' geological surface features were recorded in the south-eastern half. Sixteen positive discrete anomalies were recorded throughout the dataset that are indicative of archaeological rubbish pits, however a modern or geological derivation cannot be ruled out. One positive curvilinear anomaly indicative of a potential ring ditch has been recorded to the north of the demolished abattoir, it may be of archaeological significance however a modern origin cannot be ruled out. Subsequent targeted trial trenching to ground- test the hypotheses given in this report would be prudent.
