Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Common Road, Harthill, South Yorkshire (centred on NGR 450578, 380477). The project was commissioned by ERM on behalf of INEOS with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in support of a planning application for the development of the site as a shale gas extraction point. The site comprises a portion of a single arable field located north of Common Road, Harthill, covering an area of 1.9 ha. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 22nd March 2017 and has demonstrated the presence of a number of anomalies of possible archaeological origin across the survey area. The survey has revealed a substantial number of ditch-like features that together may form a network of Iron Age or Romano-British enclosures. However, the anomalies are consistent with geological responses found on a similar dolostone geology at Clowne (Wessex Archaeology 2013) making a definite conclusion as to the origin difficult. A circular anomaly has been identified in the north-west of the site, and may be evidence of earlier Bronze Age activity; a round barrow or small enclosure. However, this could also be caused by natural features in the dolostone bedrock. It is not possible to accurately determine the nature of the anomalies from the geophysical data alone, and further investigation would be required to provide clarity. Additionally, this archaeological investigation has detected parallel trend anomalies consistent with modern ploughing.
