Abstract:		 The magnetic survey appeared to have successfully pinpointed the course of Coombe Conduit, though it was uncertain if the anomaly detected (on the projected line of the feature) related to a brick built conduit or perhaps a replacement iron pipe, or even a combination of the two. Other features of potential interest highlighted in the desk-based assessment (Oxford Archaeology 2006) were also identified though the interpretation of some of the magnetic anomalies remained unclear. Many of the sample areas showed indications of extensive ground disturbance either associated with the construction of the golf course or in connection with past flower shows. Numerous anomalies were shown to coincide with areas that had been re-seeded or where modern debris (such as stray tent pegs) was visible in the topsoil. The presence of existing services also affected the results. Of the six sample blocks, apart from Area 1 where Coombe Conduit lay, Area 3 was seen to have the greatest archaeological potential. A number of anomalies possessed a shape and form that was indicative of buried ditches or similar features, though the lack of any clear pattern made an archaeological interpretation difficult. It was possible that the responses were associated with World War II activity or indeed landscaping associated with the golf course. [Au(adp)]
