Abstract:		 The geophysical (gradiometer) survey was undertaken in accordance with current best practice and CIfA guidance; and follows the guidance outlined in Geophysical Survey in Archaeological Field Evaluation (English Heritage 2008b); Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Geophysical Survey (CIfA 2014b); EAC Guidelines for the use of geophysics in Archaeology: Questions to Ask and Points to Consider (Europae Archaeologiae Consilium/European Archaeological Council 2016). The survey identified 12 groups of anomalies across the site. These were predominantly linear ditch and/or bank boundary features associated with phases of the existing and historic field-system, though the known prehistoric barrow was also clearly identified. Possible pits and/or tree-throws, alongside anomalies associated with agricultural activity, metallic debris and ground disturbance were also apparent. The results of the geophysical survey would suggest that the archaeological potential for the site is high. Whilst a good number of features have been identified, the majority relate to historic phases of field-system which are tentatively suggested as being medieval and post-medieval in date. However, the combination of a well preserved (probable) prehistoric barrow within the survey area and the Registered battle site to the north that are of particular importance on the site, and it is possible that a prehistoric date cannot be ruled out for some of the other features. The proposed strategy of maintaining an open area around the barrow in the proposed planting scheme is considered to be very appropriate. The view between the barrow on this site and the large scheduled barrow to the north-north-east at Middle Taphouse should also remain largely open. Views towards other barrows (to the north and south-east) in this landscape are already largely screened by existing hedges, roads and modern features so maintaining any visual relationships is already infeasible and less sensitive.
