Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Persimmon Homes and Ashfield Land, through their agents Barton Willmore, to undertake a geophysical survey on land at Wyck Beck Road, Cribbs Causeway, Filton, situated towards the northern edge of suburban Bristol. A previously undertaken desk-based assessment had identified areas of the Site as having increased potential for the presence of Saxon and/or medieval settlement remains. The geophysical survey comprised reconnaissance scanning survey conducted over all accessible parts of the Site in transects of 10m , followed by detailed survey of 10% of the Site which was targeted over areas identified by scanning as having increased archaeological potential, along with 'control' areas, surveyed to prove absence of archaeological features. The survey was carried out using Bartington Grad601-2 dual sensor gradiometer systems. Detailed survey was carried out in grids of 20m x 20m. A number of clear archaeological anomalies were identified by detailed gradiometer survey, with significant field boundaries/enclosures recorded of probable pre-medieval date; potential archaeological remains were also identified within these enclosed areas. Detailed surveys also recorded evidence for medieval ridge and furrow. A large number of ambiguous responses are thought to represent groups of pit-like features, which may be of archaeological origin. Additional weak trends and areas of increased magnetic response were also detected for which no definite interpretation is proposed at this stage. The clearest and most positively identified and interpreted archaeological anomalies recorded during the detailed survey are groups 4000 and 4002. The two groups are clearly indicative of enclosures and/or field boundaries of potentially pre-medieval date; possibly Iron Age or Romano-British. The surveys further suggest that the two groups of features are related, indicating an area of high archaeological potential in the south of the Site. Comparison of the detailed results with the scanning results indicates that these features may continue for approximately 200m to the east into field A20.
