Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Sycamore House Farm, Burscough, Lancashire (centred on NGR 342636, 409648). The project was commissioned by MS Power Projects Limited in support of a planning application for a proposed solar park, with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features within the site. The site comprises arable fields located to the south of High Lane and immediately to the north of the Northern Line of the Merseyrail network, covering an area of 27 ha. Within this the development area is around 9.18 ha with the two fields surveyed comprising around 14.6 ha. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 14th-19th September 2015. The detailed gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of anomalies of potential archaeological interest across the Site. The anomalies identified as being of archaeological interest are primarily pit- and ditch-like features. Of particular note is a weak curvilinear ditch-like response in to the north-eastern part of the Site that may represent a ploughed out enclosure or ring ditch. Distinct linear responses reflect earlier subdivisions of the land e aligned north-west / south-east and north-east / south-west. Several small sub-circular pit-like responses have been detected across the site which may by archaeological in origin.
