Abstract:		 A geophysical survey was carried out along the route of the new Axford to Ogbourne Licence Reduction Scheme water pipeline between Blunsdon and Whitefield Reservoirs near Swindon. Detailed magnetometry was used along several sections of the 18.2km pipeline route which is to be constructed in four phases. Phase 1 extends from Blunsdon Reservoir to the Honda factory site, and within this route, two areas containing potential archaeological remains were located. In Phase 2, which extends around the scheduled Roman town at Wanborough, a large complex of linear ditches, rectilinear enclosures, trackways and pits were located. Further evidence for a continuation of the Roman town to the south of the scheduled area was also located to the south of the Wanborough Road. In Phase 3, to the north of Great Moor Leaze, several linear and rectilinear ditches were located along the line of the pipe and a wider survey was undertaken to put them in context. The wider survey revealed a complex of rectilinear and curvilinear enclosures containing possible ring ditch features. Structural remains indicate at least one possible Roman building. Phase 4 extends from the M4 southwards to the Whitefield Reservoir near Ogbourne St George. Within this zone, two ring ditches have been located, one possibly indicating an isolated round house feature, the other a possible barrow ditch. Further south is a complex of cut features with ditches, enclosures and pits that appear to relate to a previously unrecorded Roman roadside settlement.
