Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological magnetometer survey and resistance survey at Wooston Castle hillfort. It primary purpose was to achieve a better understanding of the internal structure of the monument to inform future conservation and archaeological investigations. A total of sixty-six magnetic anomaly groups and fifty-four resistance anomaly groups were mapped as representing archaeological deposits and features. The anomalies from both surveys recorded on the extant earthworks suggested that they were constructed with a relatively stony inner component and a relatively earthen outer component. Further, an inner earthen component was demonstrated for one extant bank and this pattern was hinted at for the other banks surveyed. The main enclosure (A) and four bordering enclosures were surveyed (B and E to the southwest, D to the southeast and C to the south and uphill of B). Numerous possible internal linear sub-divisions were recorded across A and there may be a semi-circular structure in the southwestern corner of this enclosure. A potential sub-circular surface and a group of possible pits were recorded close by this potential structure. There is evidence for former earthworks that may have once enclosed B. There may also have been an earlier phase of earthworks in C. There was good evidence for internal divisions in D along with possible craft or industrial activities such as metal working.
