Abstract:		 AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by WYG Planning and Environment to undertake an archaeological geophysical (gradiometer) survey to investigate the potential for buried archaeological remains on a proposed development at North Petherton, Somerset (centred at ST 29440 32392). A total of 12 hectares were surveyed and the results of the survey have identified the following. The results of the survey identified a plethora of discrete linear, curvilinear, rectilinear trends and discrete pit like anomalies. These anomalies are only weak and tentative and this has made interpretation difficult. They may or may not be archaeological in origin and only further intrusive investigation will resolve this query. The likelihood is that if these are not archaeological then they will be of a natural geological origin. However if they are found to be archaeological they may well form part of an earlier set of historic field systems and settlement, possibly prehistoric in date. Also detected were a number of agricultural trends of former field boundaries visible on First edition Ordnance Survey Mapping of the site. A number of areas of magnetic disturbance resulting from the effects of modern services or magnetic objects such as buildings, pylons and modern fencing were also recorded.
