Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Hampshire County Council to conduct detailed geophysical surveys over land at two school sites located near the A343 in the north of Andover; Roman Way Primary School (Site 1), and Shepherd's School (Site 2). Hampshire County Council intends to redevelop elements of the sites, including the development of two areas of open space for housing. The two sites lie close to the intersection of two major Roman roads; the Portway and the Icknield Way. Previous archaeological investigations in the area have identified substantial remains of Iron Age and Romano-British date, in addition to remains of the Neolithic, Bronze Age, medieval and post-medieval periods resulting in the area being designated an Area of Archaeological Importance in the Local Plan. The two areas were surveyed with a dual sensor Bartington 601 gradiometer system and the results identified the presence of archaeological features at both Sites. These generally comprised broad linear features. Anomalies of high ferrous or burnt content were also present at both locations; although only at Site 1 did they form any recognisable alignments, indicative of a particular use in the past. Areas of increased magnetic response were located across Site 2, although no archaeological association can be proposed at this stage. Given the limited extent of the survey areas, no particular origin or chronological period could be proposed for the anomalies and arrangement of features identified at either Site, although, based upon previous evidence, an Iron Age or Romano-British date may be the most likely.
