Abstract:		 As demonstrated by the fading of two sets of data trends likely to represent ploughing disturbance, the magnetic response is reduced in the southern part of the Site compared to the northern part. This may be due to a different agricultural regime in the two parts of the Site which were separated by a field boundary between 1904-5 and 1962. Alternatively, the change in magnetic response may be due to geological variations and/or to possible changes in the Site soils with a potentially wetter surface and sub-surface environment to the south. This reduction in magnetic response was also highlighted by a lack of a linear anomaly in the survey data associated with the above mentioned field boundary. The differences in magnetic responses across the Site were sufficient to be able to differentiate between some anomalies representing possible archaeological features and background magnetic responses but it must be presumed that more archaeological features may be present than those specified in this report. Four magnetic anomaly groups were mapped as representing potential buried archaeology. Of these, two may represent disrupted, linear features such as remnants of field boundaries. The two other groups may represent rubble or near-surface bedrock. If representing rubble then, speculatively, they could denote the presence demolition rubble from the former adjacent field boundary mentioned above.
