Abstract:		 A programme of test pitting was undertaken in the north western half of the SAM of Verulamium Roman Town. The programme was intended to provide data on topsoil depths across the site in order to assess the affects of ongoing ploughing and a geophysical survey was also carried out. These were to aid future management strategies for the site. Four fields were examined. In all four fields there was some evidence that modern plough soil overlay in-situ archaeological deposits in some areas. Evidence suggested that the present ploughing regime had not achieved stability and deposits were being actively damaged as a result. Evidence of previously unknown Roman structures was observed in several locations and was visible in the geophysical survey. The main geophysical (fluxgate gradiometer) survey revealed a wealth of significant archaeological anomalies, which enhanced the aerial photographic record of the site. [Au(abr)]
