Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land off Mansfield Road in Clowne, Derbyshire. The site comprises an arable field to the west of Mansfield Road, approximately 600m south of Clowne. The site lies at the western extent of a broad plateau, with the land falling away to the west of the survey areas, and had been ploughing prior to the survey. The gradiometer survey covered 5.6 ha. A network of anomalies of definite and probable archaeological interest can be seen across the central and southern portions of the site. Whilst the interrupted nature and variations in magnetic contrast have made the interpretation less confident, it is considered likely that these anomalies indicate a complex of former fields or enclosures. Whilst it has not been possible to determine the function of these anomalies, it is thought that settlement activity would have produced detectable anomalies characteristic of occupation, such as dense clusters of pits. Numerous linear and pit-like anomalies can be seen on similar orientations to the probable enclosures, although their interpretation is made less certain by the presence of strong ploughing trends on similar alignments. The reason for the strong enhancement of these agricultural trends is not clear, although it is likely that near-surface geological deposits have been disturbed through ploughing, leading to some of the linear responses seen. Whilst some of these anomalies will be geological or agricultural in origin, an archaeological interpretation, whilst tentative, cannot be discounted entirely. Several regions of responses typical of near-surface geological changes have been identified, along with magnetic disturbance associated with the properties along Mansfield Road and farm buildings adjacent to the survey area.
