Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land adjacent to Edgmond Road, Newport, Shropshire. The project was commissioned by CgMs Consulting 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 pasture fields to the south of Edgmond Road, on the northwest outskirts of Newport, approximately 6km north of Telford. The site occupies a level area between 70m and 75m aOD and is currently used as horse paddocks. The gradiometer survey was undertaken between 24th and 26th March 2014 and covered 6ha; it has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with several regions of increased magnetic response. Of the four fields surveyed large areas of increased magnetic response were identified within the central and eastern fields; these areas contained anomalies of archaeological potential interpreted as possible building foundations. Extensive magnetic disturbance can be seen throughout the site, consistent with former industrial and modern activity, largely concentrated on the central and eastern parts of the survey area. The geophysical survey has demonstrated that the archaeological potential within the survey areas is mainly confined to the central and eastern parts of the Site, in the form of possible structures and activity areas relating to industrial use; a previous desk-based assessment (CgMs Consulting, 2012) indicated the presence of a former brick-making works and these anomalies are consistent with such an interpretation.
