Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Melksham, Wiltshire. The project was commissioned by Wiltshire Council 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 pasture fields immediately north of Melksham Community Oak School, approximately 9km west of Devizes and 1.7km east of the centre of Melksham. Gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible part of the site. The site occupies largely flat land which gently slopes up towards the eastern extent. The gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with a region of increased magnetic response, plough trends and several modern services. The geophysical data show regular ploughing trends throughout the survey area, thought to relate to ridge and furrow activity from differing agricultural periods on the site. Several former field boundaries have also been identified, suggesting that the current field system was once more enclosed. Several areas of increased magnetic response have also been identified, some relating to agricultural activity and some probably natural in origin. Possible pit anomalies are also present throughout the site.
