Abstract:		 The magnetic survey has identified a number of ditches that form a network of enclosures, field systems and possible trackways. While there is general agreement with the AP evidence, the geophysics has added considerable detail in the south-west of the site and also shown that the error in the AP transcriptions is 5m or more. There are no characteristic responses in the magnetic data that might indicate a Roman villa building. The resistance results are more difficult to interpret because of geological complications, however, several linear high resistance anomalies have been identified. Excavation demonstrated that some of these are associated with flint walls, others with flint banks and some of the more amorphous responses with natural flint / gravel concentrations. While a rectilinear pattern of high resistance anomalies clearly exists, a lack of finds suggests that these putative structural remains were on the periphery of the main villa complex. The latter is presumed to have been largely destroyed by the construction and subsequent widening of the railway.
