Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Parker Dann Chartered Town Planning Consultants on behalf of Vogt Solar Ltd. to conduct a detailed gradiometer survey over land at Pashley Farm, Ninfield, East Sussex, ahead of a proposed development. The site comprises a single arable field to the south of Pashley Farm and occupies undulating land lying at a maximum height of c. 16m above Ordnance Datum (aOD) towards the centre of the Site and a minimum height of c. 8m aOD at the southern end of the Site. A desk-based assessment (DBA; Wessex Archaeology 2013) established that there is a possible archaeological interest within the Site. This is defined as the potential for the presence of buried archaeological remains, in particular relating to the agricultural practices of the medieval, post-medieval and modern periods. The gradiometer survey was conducted using a Bartington Grad 601-2 dual fluxgate gradiometer instrument and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest, in addition to extinct field boundaries, regions of increased magnetic response, ploughing trends and trends of uncertain origin. Former field boundaries present on historic mapping have been clearly identified within the dataset along with a modern trackway, a probable earlier drainage ditch and other possible field boundaries. Three L-shaped anomalies of probable archaeological origin have also been identified which may represent small enclosures or earlier field divisions. In places, strong ploughing trends reflecting current and historic agricultural activity can be seen; it is likely that the difference in response indicates sub-surface deposits being ploughed to the surface, although it is not possible to determine whether these are archaeological or geological in origin.
