Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Stapleton Allotments, Bristol. The project was commissioned by Atkins on behalf of Bristol City Council with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on site ahead of the proposed Metrobus route development connecting North Fringe to Hengrove. The survey area comprises several small parcels of mixed-use land currently occupied by allotments and smallholding with intermittent areas of grassland. All areas accessible at the time of survey were covered with a total of 1.1ha of data collected out of a proposed survey area of 4.3ha. The width of the field boundaries, artificial obstructions (heras fencing, skips, and rubble) and unsafe conditions underfoot reduced the size of the area that could be surveyed. The gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of some anomalies of possible archaeological interest along with trends of uncertain origin possibly associated with the modern agricultural use of the site as allotments and smallholdings. The anomalies identified of possible archaeological potential are a rectilinear ditch-type feature and two further pit-type features. The site as a whole is dominated by weak trends likely to be as a result of modern agricultural activity as well as large scale ferrous responses. Few anomalies apart from trends of uncertain origin have been identified in the areas of ferrous response. The survey was undertaken in two phases on the 23rd March and the 3rd August 2015 by the in-house geophysics team at Wessex Archaeology.
