Abstract:		 A geophysical survey and archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of a planning application for the construction of a new school building and an all weather sports pitch at Ralph Allen School, Claverton Down Road, Combe Down, Bath. The geophysical survey identified a number of features of possible archaeological origin. The subsequent evaluation demonstrated that apart from a modern drain crossing the school hockey pitch, most of the geophysical anomalies appear to be natural features, primarily caused by variations in the local geology. Some of the linear geophysical anomalies in the playing field may represent the lines of former hedged field boundaries, now defined by magnetic differences in the soil and outcrops of bedrock. A small quantity of early to middle Iron Age and Romano-British pottery, and some worked flint was recovered from the topsoil and topsoil/natural interface layers. Although these finds provide some evidence for prehistoric and Romano-British activity somewhere in the vicinity of the site, they are not thought to be indicative of any significant activity within the proposed development area.
