Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering 123 hectares, on land at Rossington, South Yorkshire, to inform an outline planning application for the proposed development of Rossington Inland Port Phase 2B. The survey has identified a number of linear anomalies across the western part of the site which confirm and enhance the cropmark data. These anomalies, due to soil-filled ditches, form a system of land division and enclosure, including at least one localised area of possible settlement activity, which probably date to the later Iron Age or Romano-British period. The survey has demonstrated a correlation between the archaeological anomalies and the superficial deposits of sand and gravel with a relative absence of anomalies of archaeological potential on the lower-lying alluvial deposits in the north and the east. It is not clear whether the fragmentary nature of the archaeological anomalies is a true assessment of the below ground remains or whether possible archaeological features may be masked by low magnetic contrast within the alluvial soils. It seems likely, given the nature and scale of the surrounding cropmarks, that some archaeological features, particularly over areas of alluvium, may not have been detected by the survey. Nevertheless, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential within the east of the proposed development area is assessed as moderate, and locally high, whereas the western half of the site is assessed as having low archaeological potential, corroborating the results of the Desk Based Assessment.
