Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Alton Priors, Wiltshire (centred on NGR 410925, 162130). The project was commissioned by the Churches Conservation Trust with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features. The site comprises pastoral land surrounding the church of All Saints, Alton Priors, covering an area of 3.5 ha. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 27th November 2015. The detailed gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of anomalies of potential archaeological interest across the Site. The anomalies identified as being of archaeological interest are primarily pit- and ditch-like features. Features identified are likely to represent former field boundaries and areas of archaeology of possible medieval origin. The Site as a whole is dominated by strong ferrous responses, many of which are considered to be modern in origin though some may be related to the buildings which once stood in this area but have been demolished in the last few decades. An additional rapid assessment of LiDAR data was then carried out in order to place the Site within its wider landscape. Due to limitations in LiDAR data coverage it has only been possible to assess data to the south of the Site. A total of 979 hectares were assessed, revealing extensive blocks of ridge and furrow, lynchets and earthworks.
