Abstract:		 A geophysical survey, comprising resistivity and magnetometry, was carried out at Castle Pulverbatch Motte and Bailey in Shropshire by Archaeological Surveys Ltd. The work was undertaken for the Stiperstones and Corndon Hill Country Landscape Partnership Scheme with funding from the Castle Studies Trust in order to support the understanding of the character and extent of the archaeological features within the site. The survey was carried out under a Section 42 licence from Historic England. The results of the earth resistance survey reveal a number of high resistance responses within the inner bailey that appear consistent with features of archaeological potential. These include a number of high resistance linear, rectilinear and a curvilinear response that may relate to structural remains. The magnetometer survey revealed a broad, ditch-like feature along the eastern side of the inner bailey, with discrete positive responses possibly indicating pit-like features or an association with burning. One discrete anomaly corresponds with the interior of the high resistance curvilinear response and together they may indicate a circular structure, such as a well. Within the outer bailey there are a large number of high resistance linear, rectilinear, discrete and amorphous anomalies, with the general trend parallel with the responses located within the inner bailey and also the bailey banks and ditches. The magnetometer results show a number of broad, parallel, positive and negative anomalies, some of which correspond to high resistance anomalies. It is possible that some relate to internal trackways extending northwards from an entrance within the southern bank.
