Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 60 hectares on land south-east of Milton Keynes to inform forthcoming archaeological strategy in advance of the proposed development of the site. A localised complex of linear and rectilinear anomalies suggestive of Iron Age or Romano-British settlement has been identified within the north-west corner of the site. The complex covers an area of five hectares and comprises several interlinking rectangular enclosures; roundhouses and other discrete pit-type features are also identified and are clearly indicative of occupation. No anomalies of definite archaeological potential have been identified beyond the well-defined extents of the settlement complex, although a few linear and curvilinear anomalies of possible archaeological origin have been identified to the north and east towards the M1 motorway. Elsewhere, the survey has identified anomalies indicative of agricultural activity including former field boundaries, field drains and ridge and furrow cultivation. On the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential across the majority of the site is considered to be low with a high potential ascribed to the settlement complex in the north-west corner.
