Abstract:		 The detailed gradiometer survey was undertaken using four SenSys FGM650/3 magnetic gradiometers spaced at 1 m intervals and mounted on a non-magnetic cart. Data were collected with an effective sensitivity of 0.03 nT at a rate of 20 Hz, producing intervals of 0.08 m, along transects spaced 4 m apart. The detailed gradiometer survey has identified anomalies of archaeological origin across the site, with dense concentrations of activity focussed towards the central southern area of the site. In addition to these, anomalies interpreted as modern services, linear/curvilinear trends, land drains, superficial geology and widespread ferrous have also been identified. The results of the survey suggest that an area of dense settlement activity was present on the site. The topography of the settlement infers that it was built upon an area of high ground, bounded to the north-east and south-west by areas of wetland, indicated by the superficial geology. There is evidence to suggest there was a double-ditched feature to the south of the settlement, indicating a defensive ditch or a delineation of land, segregating the dry-ground approach to the settlement. Further suggestion of settlement activity is evident toward the north of the site, in the form of curvilinear and rectilinear features, which may continue north outside the survey boundary. Modern services and land drains indicate a more modern and contemporary level of activity in the area.
