Abstract:		 The purpose of the geophysical survey was to provide an enhanced understanding of the nature and extent of archaeological remains associated with Irchester Roman town in order to inform the future management of the site. Magnetometer survey of the walled town revealed a large square ditched enclosure, possibly of Iron Age date and pre-dating the town. Of the town itself, the enclosing wall was located along with the internal road arrangement. The major new contribution is that the survey has provided sufficient detail of the internal stone buildings to enable the likely function of several major building complexes to be determined. An area to the east of the Roman town, not previously surveyed, produced evidence of enclosures, a droveway, features relating to Chester-on-the-Water deserted village, two further Roman roads and a tramway leading to the easternmost field, which has been mostly quarried for ironstone.
