Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land north off Boreham Road, near Warminster, south-west Wiltshire. The project was commissioned by CgMs Consulting with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of a proposed development. The site comprises of a single arable field directly north of Boreham Road, some 2.2 km to the south-east of the centre of Warminster and 1.9 km north-west of Norton Bavant. The Site occupies an area of relatively flat land with a shallow slope which slopes to the north. The gradiometer survey covered 3.5 ha and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with regions of magnetic disturbance . A clear ditch and several probable pits were seen in the data along with a C-shaped anomaly. This C-shaped anomaly was detected towards the northern extent of the survey area although the response was weak and not clearly defined from the general magnetic background. This faint anomaly and others seen throughout the data may indicate that some plough damage has taken place. Several linear features are visible in the dataset that are consistent with former field boundaries visible on historic mapping. Extensive magnetic disturbance associated with agricultural processes and numerous small-scale ferrous responses were seen throughout the dataset. The geophysical survey was undertaken on 21st May 2014.
