Abstract:		 Archaeological Surveys Ltd carried out a magnetometer survey of land at Bullimore Farm, to the south east of Shepton Mallet, Somerset. The work was commissioned by the land owner to provide information for future land use and management of the site. The site includes part of Scheduled Monument No. 22803, a Romano-British linear village. The results of the survey indicate the presence of a number of anomalies of archaeological potential in the north western part of the site. These consist of linear and discrete positive anomalies and are consistent with ditches, pits and enclosures. Linear positive anomalies extending south and south east from the north western part of the site indicate ditches that may relate to former boundaries or trackways. Some negative linear anomalies were also located in the north western part of the site and it is possible that these relate to structural remains, though the interpretation is tentative. Many linear and discrete anomalies have been classified as uncertain in origin due to their weak and fragmented nature or indistinct morphology. Cross referencing with early Ordnance Survey mapping has demonstrated anomalies associated with the removal of several field boundaries and the infilling of a railway cutting. Many anomalies of uncertain origin may relate to agricultural practices, land drainage and other boundary changes within the site. However, their archaeological potential should not be dismissed given the close proximity of Roman and prehistoric sites.
