Abstract:		 A geophysical survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd within four survey areas along the proposed route of the New Eastern Villages Southern Connector Road in Wanborough, Swindon. These areas contain a number of archaeological features identified through previous magnetometer surveys along the routes of a water pipeline and the Southern Connector Road. The survey was commissioned to help with furthering the understanding of the buried archaeology within these areas. Areas 1 and 2 targeted enclosures which appear to be at the south-eastern end of the Roman town at Wanborough (Durocornovium) either side of the Roman road of Ermin Street (Wanborough Road). To determine the most effective technique for refining the identification of archaeological features, a pilot study was carried out within Area 1 to the north-east of Wanborough Road with two frequencies of ground penetrating radar (GPR) and also earth resistance survey (resistivity). Resistivity produced a more effective response and was continued within the remaining three survey areas. To the south-west of Ermin Street produced a number of high resistance responses and it is possible that they have archaeological potential; however, modern ground disturbance and land use could be associated with the responses.There was no corresponding response to two small ring ditch features, and a natural origin is possible.
