Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over several pasture fields South of The Ridge in Holmhurst St. Mary, near Hastings, East Sussex. The project was commissioned by Entran Ltd. Only one anomaly likely to be of archaeological interest was identified, comprising a ditch segment located towards the northern extent of the westernmost field, which may form part of an enclosure or field system. The anomaly is oriented parallel with existing field boundaries, perhaps suggesting that it is agricultural in origin, although it is not possible to determine a likely date for the anomaly. A number of other possible ditch segments and pit-like anomalies appear within the central survey area, although they are randomly distributed; whilst an archaeological interpretation cannot be ruled out entirely, it is possible that they are the result of near-surface geological changes. In the easternmost survey area, several larger pit-like anomalies are considered to be of probable archaeological interest, although this is not conclusive and again it is conceivable that they may be natural in origin. A rectangular region of increased magnetic response and ferrous anomalies lies towards the southern extent of the westernmost survey area, which is consistent with a former field. Some former field boundaries were also identifiable from concentrations of ferrous but are not thought to be of archaeological interest. Weak linear and curvilinear trends were observed throughout the dataset and, although their origins are largely unclear, some are characteristic of ploughing.
