Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of their client Taylor Wimpey East Midlands to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey over land north off Empingham Road, near Stamford, south Lincolnshire, ahead of a proposed development. The site comprises of a large arable field to the south of Empingham Road and occupies an area of relatively flat land with a gentle gradient which slopes to the south and south-west. 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 within the survey area, along with regions of magnetic disturbance and ferrous response. The geophysical data has revealed a field system with field boundaries, a possible enclosure and a few probable pits. There are wide spreads of increased magnetic response and geological responses running across the entire site. Of the anomalies of probable archaeological interest, a series of ditches appears to form an enclosure oriented NW-SE near the northern extent of the survey. A region of ferrous responses close by to the north may be associated and is consistent with the remnants of industrial activity, although it is unclear what period this would date. In places, previous geophysical survey and archaeological evaluation provides background evidence for the interpretation of this survey, including the likely geological character of strong linear anomalies seen in the southernmost part of the site.
