Abstract:		 A magnetometer survey carried over c. 5.7ha of land using a hand-carried GNSS positioned bespoke fluxgate gradiometer system. Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 5.7ha area of land at Melton, Suffolk. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across the survey area. The geophysical survey has primarily detected anomalies related to the agricultural use of the survey area as well as anomalies reflecting natural variations. No anomalies suggestive of significant archaeological features have been identified. Anomalies related to agricultural use have been detected and interpreted as current and former plough directions and a former historic trackway. Natural variations have been identified as textural variation across the dataset due to the interface between underlying geologies. Topographic changes have also produced anomalies with natural origins suggesting they may be the result of colluvial processes. The impact of modern activity on the results in generally minimal detected as magnetic disturbance at the perimeters of the survey area.
