Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Alder King, on behalf of their client Alchemy Properties, to carry out an archaeological geophysical survey over land at Hort Bridge, Station Road, Ilminster prior to redevelopment. The land has been divided in to two sites (A and B) The survey was carried out using a Bartington Grad601-2 dual sensor gradiometer system. In general, the survey area exhibits a magnetic background of varying texture, reflecting the mixed use it has been subjected to over time. A number of anomalies typical of pits are clustered near the northern extent of Area A and the northwestern extent of Area B, although it is possible that they may be pedological in origin. A complex of amorphous anomalies may represent a small enclosure in the southern part of the survey area. Several linear anomalies are characteristic of field boundaries indicating former field systems. A series of strong ferrous anomalies, regularly spaced and aligned north-south along OS easting 334700, are modern in origin. Given the proximity of the Taunton Stop Line and the presence of a Second World War pillbox within the development area, it is thought likely that these anomalies represent part of the military defences in the area. Numerous other responses of probable pedological origin can be observed throughout the survey area and it is likely that these are associated with the River Isle immediately west of the survey areas. Other linear and curvilinear trends are evident throughout the dataset, some of which will be anthropogenic in origin.
