Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land off Easton Lane, Pylle, near Shepton Mallet, Somerset. The project was commissioned by Pylle Solar Ltd. with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of the development of a proposed solar farm. The site comprises a mix of arable and pasture fields to the north of Easton Lane, approximately 1.9km west of Evercreech and some 2.2km east-northeast of Shepton Mallet. The site occupies the base of a shallow valley, sloping up towards the northern and southern extents. The gradiometer survey covered 4.8ha and has demonstrated the presence of a few anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with regions of increased magnetic response, ploughing, drainage and modern services. The geophysical data has revealed a circular feature within a larger area of increased magnetic response which is probably archaeological in origin. Agricultural features including drainage ditches and ceramic field drains have been identified along with a line of ferrous responses running parallel to the ploughing trends may represent a former field boundary. The survey results are notable in that very few archaeological anomalies were identified; a geophysical survey was carried out in 2013 immediately south of this one that revealed an extensive complex of rectilinear enclosures. No clear signs of the continuation of this enclosure complex can be seen in any of the geophysical data collected by Wessex Archaeology. The survey was undertaken between 29th April and 2nd July 2014.
