Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by English Heritage to undertake a geophysical survey of land around Lydiard House, near Swindon (centred on NGR SU 10400 84625). The aim of the work was to establish the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site as part of a programme of archaeological works to enhance the archaeological record of the site as well as to inform on the presentation and development of the site. The survey was undertaken between the 7th and 18th March 2014 with earth resistance and gradiometer survey carried out. The site is located approximately 5km west of the centre of Swindon. The site comprises an area of lawns located around Lydiard House inside Lydiard Park. Detailed gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible parts of the site, a total of 4.8ha, and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest in addition to numerous features thought to relate to former garden features. The archaeology detected includes pathways, walls, ditches and fences with many features thought to relate to the formal gardens laid out by the St John family in the 17th century. Other features were detected that seems to date to a different phase of land division.
