Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Parchfields Farm, Rugeley, Staffordshire (centred on NGR SK 05167 19297). The project was commissioned by Terence O'Rourke, working on behalf of Solstice Renewables, with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in support of a planning application for the installation of a photovoltaic solar array within the site. The site comprises arable fields located to the northeast of Colton Road, covering an area of 14.9ha. The geophysical survey was undertaken between 5th and 8th May 2015. The detailed gradiometer survey has demonstrated the presence of a number of anomalies of potential archaeological interest almost entirely within the eastern field. The anomalies identified as being of archaeological interest consist of ditch and pit-type features. In the eastern field linear ditch features are likely to represent archaeology as well as former field boundaries and watercourses identified from historic mapping. The central and western fields contain possible pit-like features of archaeological interest alongside unclassified trends. Additionally, this archaeological investigation has detected modern services, areas of increased magnetic response and evidence for historic cultivation.
