Abstract:		 Magnetometry and resistivity surveys were carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd, on behalf of the landowner, over land at The Old Priory, North Woodchester in Gloucestershire. The work was carried out in order to provide an archaeological assessment of a narrow strip of land ahead of a proposed tree planting scheme designed to provide additional screening along the eastern edge of the scheduled monument of Woodchester Roman Villa. The area of planting was targeted with magnetometry and resistivity, with magnetometry over a wider area and the interpretation of the results was support by LiDAR analysis. The results indicate the presence of several former field boundaries with two former ditches extending into the area of proposed planting. The orientation of these boundary ditches appears similar to extant post medieval enclosure boundaries. Geophysical and LiDAR evidence for medieval ridge and furrow, and an associated headland, appears to demonstrate an early field layout with a different orientation. Through the majority of the proposed tree planting zone LiDAR data have revealed the presence of a low, broad bank that coincides with anomalies present in the resistivity data. The feature may be associated with material deposited during the construction of a railway immediately to the east of the site. The wider area of magnetometry revealed numerous other anomalies of uncertain origin.
