Abstract:		 Magnetometer survey carried out over c. 23ha using hand-carried GNSS-positioned bespoke fluxgate gradiometer system. Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 23ha area of land at Ellesmere Road, Shrewsbury. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across the survey area. The geophysical survey has primarily detected evidence of the prolonged agricultural utilisation of the survey area, as well as anomalies of probable and possible archaeological origin. Archaeological activity has been identified in the form of strongly enhanced linear anomalies with orthogonal characteristics, none of which form complete enclosures. Anomalies related to historic agricultural use have been detected and interpreted as multiple ridge and furrow regimes and former field boundaries. Natural variations have been identified in areas of topographic change which suggests these broad anomalies are the result of colluvial processes. The impact of modern activity on the results is particularly evident at the perimeters of the fields, due to fencing, as well as in the form of a service line, demolition rubble from small out-buildings, and alignments of ferrous anomalies which may be indicative locations of former fence lines. A single anomaly has been classified as “Undetermined” where the origin is ambiguous from the magnetic results.
