Abstract:		 This survey is part of a larger project which focussed on part of a multiperiod field system at Lee Abbey. A possible circular feature was recorded on the National Mapping Programme transcription in this field and appeared to survive as a slight earthwork. The survey was required to inform this part of the England Coast Path route which is proposed to cross this field. A number of magnetic and resistance anomalies coincide with, and most likely represent, an extant prehistoric bank, elements of a relict bronze age field system, a section of post-medieval estate boundary wall, an extant ploughed over circular mound and an extant sub-circular platform. These last two features may have prehistoric or later origins and could relate to World War II search light emplacements. From the survey data, however, it would appear that the mound is more likely to be of World War II origin and that the platform has a more typically archaeological structure. Two sub-circular anomaly sets not identified with extant earthworks were identified in the resistance data. One may represent a stony deposit such as a cairn. The other may represent an earthen deposit, possibly with an internal area of heated deposits, suggesting a barrow or an archaeological surface. Two potential pits were recorded in the resistance data. The remaining magnetic and resistance anomalies identified as representing potential archaeological deposits had characteristics frequently associated with field or enclosure boundaries likely to be medieval or earlier.
