Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at the Cherwell School, Oxford, Oxfordshire (centred on NGR 451440 208880). The project was commissioned by S and C Slatter Limited on behalf of The Cherwell School, Oxford with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in support of a planning application for the development of the site. The site comprises an area of grass land located east of The Cherwell School, Oxford, covering an area of 2.9 ha. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 26 October 2020 and has identified numerous magnetic anomalies across the site. This includes an increased magnetic response indicative of the sports fields and equipment present during the survey, as well as underlying field drains traversing the site the on a predominantly north to south alignment. The strong background response limits the effectiveness of the survey and it is possible that weaker archaeological anomalies have not been identified. Despite the strong background response, the survey has successfully identified possible archaeological anomalies. A possible enclosure, as well as several pit-like features have been identified. However, it is equally likely these anomalies relate to modern features, such as a former cricket wicket and surrounding field drains.
