Abstract:		 A geophysical (magnetometer and earth resistance) and earthwork survey was carried out in Thornes Park, Wakefield as part of a community outreach project to better understand the relationship between the motte and bailey castle (known as Lowe Hill), a scheduled monument, and the surrounding landscape and therefore allow the monument to be better managed. Both the geophysical surveys have identified anomalies indicative of ridge and furrow cultivation in the two areas bordering the scheduled monument. Anomalies locating former 19th century boundaries, no longer extant, have also been identified. In addition the magnetometer survey has identified several discrete anomalies in the bailey area which could be indicative of archaeological features such as large pits. However, this interpretation should be viewed as tentative as the observed responses could equally easily be due to relatively recent activity. The topographic survey has mapped the earthworks and located back-filled trenches which were excavated in 1953, but has not identified any other features of archaeological significance.
