Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land to the north of Aylesham in Kent. The project was commissioned by AMEC 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 several fields to the north of Aylesham, bordering the existing housing development. The detailed gradiometer survey covered 19.1 ha and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of archaeological interest within the survey area, along with regions of increased magnetic response and two former quarry pits. A network of rectilinear ditches has been identified near the centre of the Site, forming a complex that probably extends to the south of Dorman Road North. Whilst the function of these enclosures is unclear from the geophysical dataset alone, the lack of dense pit clusters and other anomalies would suggest that they are associated with agricultural or pastoral activities rather than settlement. The two quarry pits detected by the survey coincide with ones marked on historic maps, suggesting that they were former landscape features although the date of their infilling is uncertain. Dense ploughing trends can be seen throughout the dataset, indicating that some truncation of the archaeological features will have taken place. However, few anomalies of possible archaeological interest were identified away from the central portion of the Site.
