Abstract:		 A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out along the route of a proposed new water main to the south and west of Malmesbury in Wiltshire. The coverage was over 28ha within 24 separate areas, the majority being 40m or 30m wide corridors, with a zone to the west of Malmesbury surveyed extended over a wider area of cropmarks and geophysical anomalies located during the initial survey. These anomalies relate to a number of ring ditches, some possibly relating to round barrows, with the majority appearing to relate to prehistoric round houses. There are a number of linear ditches, possible trackways and rectilinear enclosures, some of which overlie the ring ditches, indicating they may relate to later, possibly Roman features. A large number of pits have also been located, some may indicate further round houses, others form arcs and linear arrangements. Away from this zone of archaeology, the majority of the other survey areas contain geophysical anomalies of uncertain origin where an assessment of their archaeological potential cannot be confidently made due to the constraints of the survey area, or the fragmented and weak nature of the responses.
