Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned to undertake a geophysical survey and for related off site analysis and reporting on land at Northwick Road, Mark, Somerset, in advance of the application for the potential development of the site. The site is located in a field on the west side of Mark, on the south side of Northwick Road. The site is within 500m of the 13th century village church, near to which has been found medieval and Romano-British finds. The site itself is on recently enclosed farmland, although some possible earlier enclosed land and ridge and furrow can be identified in the wider landscape. In general it is likely the land has been worked at least on a seasonal basis from at least the 11th century origins of the village, being located off an ancient causeway across the Somerset Levels. The geophysical survey identified a single anomaly group comprised of two undated parallel linear anomalies possibly indicative of ditches defining a boundary or track. Other geophysical responses are related to geological variation and modern activity including drainage. Given the nature of the surrounding landscape drainage is vital to the use of the land. Given the results of this assessment, any development of the site will be unlikely to disturb any significant archaeological deposits, and it is recommended that no further archaeological works will be necessary on the site.
