Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land around Scotspoor Barrow, north-east of Collingbourne Ducis, Wiltshire (centred on NGR SU 28475 56050). This information will support an application for a Higher Level Stewardship and aims to inform the nature and extent of any future change of use for the farmland on which the barrow is situated. The site comprises part of one arable field, approximately 4.85km north-east of the centre of Collingbourne Ducis. The site occupies an area of relatively flat land on top of a spur that falls away in all directions. The detailed gradiometer survey was undertaken on the 10th September 2013 and covered a total of 1.8ha. This survey has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of definite, probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area including a ditch-like anomaly within the Scheduled Monument. It is interesting to note that only a single ditch-like anomaly has been identified within the monument boundary, rather than two parallel ditches, as would normally be expected of such a monument. However the nature, size and orientation of this linear feature do in fact appear to correspond well to the (albeit sparse) recorded information and documentary sources relating to the Scheduled Monument. Therefore is seems likely that the single linear anomaly identified within the curtilage of the Scheduled Monument does in fact represent the surviving elements of the probable long barrow, however atypical its form. To the south-east and east of the monument, several large pit-like anomalies have been detected, although no relationship can be demonstrated between them. The geophysical data has also revealed a strongly positive anomaly to the south of the scheduled area that is considered to either represent a pit of archaeological interest or possibly unexploded ordnance. There is no evidence to suggest a link between this anomaly and the Scheduled Monument to the north.
