Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by the AMEC Environment and Infrastructure UK Ltd. to undertake a detailed gradiometer survey over land adjacent to Babylon Lane, near Silverton, Devon, ahead of a proposed development. The site comprises of a single pasture field directly north of Babylon Lane, and occupies an area of undulating land with a gentle slope to the south of the Site and an increasingly steep slope towards the north of the site. The gradiometer survey was conducted using a Bartington Grad 601-2 dual fluxgate gradiometer instrument and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with agricultural features and regions of magnetic disturbance. The survey has revealed one former field system with complimentary ploughing which are congruous with 19th century mapping. The linear anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest may be related to at least one further phase of field system. Some pit-like anomalies were observed across the dataset and are interpreted as possible archaeology. Magnetic disturbance thought to be associated with the construction of the neighbouring road and numerous small-scale ferrous responses were seen throughout the dataset.
