Abstract:		 A geophysical survey, comprising detailed magnetometry, was carried out within a single pasture field at Gatcombe Farm in North Somerset. The southern part of the field has been outlined for the construction of a cattle barn and hardstanding; however, the entire field was surveyed to place any anomalies within a wider context. The site lies adjacent to the scheduled area of Gatcombe Roman site and it is, therefore, possible that further archaeological features could extend beyond the scheduled area into the survey area. The results indicate the presence of a number of positive anomalies; however, their origin is uncertain. A broad, 6m wide, positive linear response could relate to a natural feature; however, an association with an infilled former trackway or holloway leading from the stream to the south of the site to the higher ground to the north is also possible. Other discrete and amorphous positive responses appear pit-like, but again it is difficult to determine if they are natural or archaeological features. Several positive linear and a rectilinear anomaly have also been located, although whether they relate to cut, ditch-like features, or infilled former rilling formed by water erosion is uncertain.
