Abstract:		 A magnetometer survey was carried out at Bullimore Farm, Shepton Mallet. Part lies within the scheduled Romano-British linear village at Fosse Lane, Shepton Mallet (No.1011635) and a Section 42 licence was granted by Historic England prior to survey. Part of the site has been outlined for a potential commercial/industrial development, and the survey was conducted over this zone, as well as an area to the east in order to ascertain the extent of any archaeological features both within and adjacent to the development area. Area 1 lies within the scheduled area and the results show a large number of linear ditches, rectilinear enclosures and pits that appear on two slightly different orientations relating to the Roman settlement. There is also evidence for at least one former Roman building. Within Area 2, the features also include linear ditches, enclosures and pits, with different orientations, but the majority of the features associated with the Roman settlement lie within the scheduled area. However, there are many outside of it that may relate to cut, ditch-like and pit-like features but the morphology and weak response of the anomalies prevents confident interpretation. In Area 3 at least one positive linear anomaly appears to extend towards the archaeological features to the north, and although several others may relate to cut features, their morphology and weak response prevents interpretation. The infilled Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway cutting that is associated with very strongly magnetic debris that may have obscured some weaker anomalies.
