Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 13 hectares, in support of a planning application (Ref 18/00196/FULL) for improvements to the polo pitches at Smiths Lawn, Windsor Great Park, Surrey. No anomalies of definite archaeological potential have been identified by the survey. Numerous ferrous anomalies have been identified which are consistent with the use of the lawn as an airfield during the Second World War and its subsequent recreational use as polo pitches. A broad band of ferrous anomalies aligned north north-east/south south-west in the centre of the lawn probably locates the buried remains of a runway, possibly used by Edward VIII in the 1920's, and subsequently used as a relief landing ground for de Havilland Tiger Moth trainers in the Second World War. A single rectilinear anomaly towards the north of the runway may be due to an earlier soil-filled ditch, and is ascribed moderate archaeological potential, although a modern origin is possible. No other anomalies of any archaeological potential have been identified and therefore, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential of the geophysical survey area is assessed is low.
