Introduction
This archive comprises raw and processed survey data alongside raster and CAD plots from a geophysical survey on land south of Ravenswing Farm, adjoining Aldermaston Road and Silchester Road, Tadley, West Berkshire. Detailed magnetometry was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd on land to the north of Tadley, but within the parish of Aldermaston, West Berkshire using a hand pushed, cart based system of 5 sensors spaced 0.5m apart. The results indicate the presence of a number of linear and discrete anomalies but these are not well defined. The linear anomalies tend to be weak and fragmented, with a stronger response to the discrete anomalies. A group in the south eastern corner could relate to pits; however, it is not possible to determine if they are natural or anthropogenic in origin. Several other discrete positive responses in the northern part of the site have a stronger response but it is not possible to determine if they relate to pit-like features, or if they are associated with the widespread magnetic debris within the site.
