Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at two separate sites (approximately 580 m apart); at Battledown Farm Scheduled Monument, Manydown, Basingstoke, Hampshire (Site A; centred on NGR 459590, 150295) and at the site of a probable banjo enclosure on land at Kite Hill Basingstoke (Site B; centred on NGR 459950, 151280). The project was commissioned by AECOM on behalf of Hampshire County Council with the aim of establishing the presence, extent, and nature of detectable archaeological features. Site A, Battledown Farm Scheduled Monument (NHLE List Entry 1001835) is recorded as an Iron Age settlement identified from cropmarks. Site B is focused on a complex of cropmarks at Kite Hill recorded as a banjo enclosure and associated settlement activity. The archaeological significance of the two sites was relatively well known prior to the geophysical survey, with a complex cropmarks indicative of settlement identified from aerial photographs within both Sites. These two sites form part of a larger prehistoric landscape at Manydown which includes numerous scheduled monuments, cropmark complexes and extant prehistoric monuments. The geophysical survey was undertaken between 19th and 30th October 2015 and a total area of 33.3 ha was surveyed across the two sites. A targeted double density gradiometer survey was conducted over a number of discrete areas of archaeological interest across Site A with the aim of resolving some of the smaller and more ephemeral features that had been identified. The detailed gradiometer survey has been successful in detecting anomalies of archaeological interest within both Site A and Site B. The results of the geophysical survey have served to confirm the presence of the recorded features, and to clarify the form and patterning of the phases of enclosures and barrows. In addition, the survey has identified new features which were not previously recorded.
