Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of a 112 hectare site, immediately north of the A69 at Throckley, west of Newcastle, to inform planning proposals for a proposed opencast coal and fireclay mine. The survey has successfully evaluated the site identifying a plethora of anomalies the overwhelming majority of which are consistent with post-medieval coal mining including former waggonways, coal pits and shafts. Numerous anomalies due to agricultural activity, including ridge and furrow cultivation, modern ploughing and field drains are also common throughout the site. The varying magnetic background across the survey area reflects changes in the underlying superficial deposits. A few anomalies of uncertain origin have been interpreted as of possible archaeological origin including one possible enclosure at the northern end of the site which corresponds with a cropmarks. Other cropmarks have not been identified in the data. An irregular pattern of linear anomalies in the south-eastern quarter of the site may locate the remnants of possible prehistoric enclosures although this interpretation is tentative and a geological origin is considered to be equally likely. On the basis of the magnetic survey the site is assessed as of low to moderate archaeological potential mostly centred on the waggonways and the cropmarks/anomalies at the northern end of the site.
