Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Arreton, Isle of Wight. The site comprises parts of two fields, approximately 4.2km southeast of the centre of Newport. The site occupies the head of a stream valley with the land falling from to the northwest to the southeast. The detailed gradiometer survey covered 2.7ha. The geophysical survey has revealed some isolated anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest, which are consistent with isolated segments of ditch and pit-like responses. It is difficult to identify any coherent distributions within these anomalies and it is likely that this is the result of the construction of the motocross track and associated infrastructure; the majority of anomalies of probable and possible archaeological origins have been identified within regions of quieter magnetic background. Whilst it is possible that remnants of archaeological features exist within these areas of modern intrusion, the extents of magnetic disturbance associated with modern activity will have effectively masked them; given the relative lack of anomalies of clear archaeological interest within the rest of the site and the extents of modern intrusion, however, it is considered unlikely that significant archaeological remains survive. The dataset is dominated by regions of increased magnetic response and other anomalies relating to the former motocross track within the Site. Curvilinear anomalies likely to indicate the course of the former track have been identified, along with other regions of magnetic disturbance likely to be associated with crowd facilities and other related infrastructure. Several regions of increased response have been identified as being of probable geological origin.
