Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land off Hall Green Lane, near Chorley, Lancashire, centred on NGR 351275, 415000. The project was commissioned by MSP Heskin Limited with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of the proposed development of a solar farm. The Site comprises three arable fields located to the east of Salt Pit Farm, 2km SSW of Eccleston and 7.5km WSW of Chorley. The site occupies a relatively flat area of land with a gentle slope towards the northwest. The gradiometer survey covered 15.2ha and has demonstrated the presence of a few anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with agricultural features, regions of increased magnetic response and at least one modern service (an underground high pressure gas pipeline). The most interesting features detected include two pit-like anomalies, an isolated linear ditch and two ring shaped features that have all been classed as probable archaeology. The remaining features detected relate to agricultural activity with ceramic field drains, former field boundaries and numerous ploughing trends detected. The survey was undertaken between 27 and 30 October 2014 by Wessex Archaeology's in-house geophysics team.
