Abstract:		 A geophysical survey covering approximately 16ha, was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd at Lotmead Farm, Wanborough, Swindon. The site contains the remains of the Roman town of Durocornovium (Scheduled Monument 888) with evidence for roads, streets and buildings, including a mansio and bath house. The magnetometer survey revealed evidence of several phases, with a large number of positive anomalies that relate to ditches associated with enclosures, boundaries and roads or tracks within the town and flanking the Roman road of Ermin Street. Away from the core of the settlement, fewer responses were visible suggesting the scheduled boundary encloses the majority of the Roman remains. In the area containing the mansio, the magnetometer survey located a large number of cut features, but no anomalies could be identified as associated with structural remains. An earth resistance survey was carried out within this area and the results demonstrate substantial structural remains, with the mansio building being some 50m by 34m, containing a courtyard surrounded by an ambulatory corridor and small rooms. It appears that the north eastern side of the mansio may have been truncated and there is evidence for wall foundations linking the mansio to the bath house further to the south west. The layout of the bath house is less clear; however, the results show a complex of high resistance anomalies relating to structural remains, and a low resistance response, that may be associated with a depression.
