Abstract:		 A geophysical survey by magnetometer was undertaken by Allen Archaeology Limited for Landmark Planning Limited on behalf of RCSIPPS on land off Wood Lane, Quorn in Leicestershire. The survey has revealed evidence of archaeological activity, almost certainly relating to the WW2 prisoner of war camp and associated military base that was in existence on the site. These remains include tracks, and possibly services, as well as responses within earthworks that were observed during the survey. A number of dipolar responses with some examples highlighted as yellow circles on the interpretative plot, were detected across the survey area. These are likely to be associated with ferrous waste or highly fired material within the ploughsoil. The magnetometer survey has shown that there is considerable magnetic disturbance across the site, the majority of which is associated with the WW2 prisoner of war camp and military base. The previous desk-based assessment indicated that the site probably lies within the environs of a former Roman town; although the survey has not identified any elements associated with this, and there is no evidence to indicate the presence of the Roman Saltway running across the site. It should be noted however that the magnetic noise generated by the WW2 remains may have masked earlier deposits, although equally there is a likelihood that the activity associated with the WW2 camp may have truncated any earlier deposits on the site.
