Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land southwest of Cheddar, Somerset. The project was commissioned by Arup on behalf of their client Bristol Water with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of the proposed development of an additional reservoir. The site comprises pasture and arable fields to the south of the existing Cheddar reservoir, approximately 2km southwest of Cheddar; the proposed scheme totals 9.4ha and gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible parts of the site. The site occupies largely flat land, sloping up towards the centre and eastern extents. The gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with regions of increased magnetic response, near-surface geological changes and several ferrous regions. Former field systems can be seen through two areas with anomalies of probable archaeological interest; some of these responses may relate to a medieval stack stand. Elsewhere, linear anomalies and possible pit-like responses have been detected.
