Abstract:		 A geophysical survey, comprising detailed magnetometry, was undertaken by Archaeological Surveys Ltd at the request of Swindon Borough Council within an area of land at Marston Farm, South Marston, Swindon. The site contains Footpath 5 and a new rail footbridge is to be constructed over the railway line to replace the current level crossing. The results of the survey demonstrate that the site contains a number of linear ditches, enclosures and pits which are similar to others located to the south of the A420 and which relate to Roman settlement features. Away from the main core of features in the western and southern parts of the site, the responses appear weaker and more fragmented. It is possible that they relate to further archaeological features but the weak and poorly defined response, coupled with magnetic disturbance from the railway in the northern part of the site and widespread magnetic debris, prevents confident interpretation.
