Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land south of A38 and A419, Fromebridge, South Gloucestershire (centred on NGR 377340 207055). The project was commissioned by Land Use Consultants Ltd with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features in support of a planning application for the development of the site. The survey has demonstrated the presence of several anomalies of archaeological interest, primarily in the north of the survey area, with several more discrete areas of possible archaeology throughout the site. The anomalies identified as being of archaeological interest thought to be ditch-like features that may be associated with an enclosure. Given the propensity of Romano-British activity in the area, it is possible that this may date to a similar period. However, this is not apparent from the results of this geophysical survey. The precise layout of these features is thought to have been obscured by later medieval cultivation in the form of ridge and furrow ploughing. The notably increased magnetic background surrounding these anomalies which may be that heavily truncated, are present in this area. Part of the Stroudwater Navigation canal has been identified in the north-western corner of the Site and a broad area of an increased magnetic response has been interpreted as the remains of a possible toe-path. In addition, several anomalies have been identified across the site as well as several former field boundaries.
