Abstract:		 A gradiometer survey was undertaken within a field which lay approximately 2km south-east of Cadbury Castle Iron Age Hillfort; the work was carried out as part of the South Cadbury Environs Project. Excavations at the site in 1994-5 had recorded several features, including a late and an earlier Romano-British ditch and evidence of buildings. The geophysical survey demonstrated different anomaly patterns on each side of a sharply-defined gully which divided the north-west quarter from the rest of the field. The earliest known prehistoric anomalies comprised ditches associated with three Early Bronze Age barrows. A number of linear features probably indicated ditches, representing several phases of activity, and two penannular features may have been of Iron Age date. The shape and regularity of the latter raised the possibility that they may alternatively have been the remains of modern searchlight batteries, but there was nothing to suggest the incidence of ferrous magnetism which would be a likely consequence. Early Romano-British settlement activity seemed to have been focused on the east side of the field, and major re-structuring of the landscape semed to have occurred in the later Romano-British phase. Traces of ridge and furrow, a possible post-Roman enclosure and a hollow way were identified. [AIP]
