Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land between Uckington pumping station and Atcham, near Shrewsbury, Shropshire. The site comprises arable and pasture fields off the B5061 and B4380 from Uckington in the east to Atcham in the west, some 6km southeast of Shrewsbury. The Roman town of Wroxeter lies approximately 1km south of the scheme, which crosses a number of possible archaeological sites identified from aerial photography. These include a number of possible marching camps, a Roman cemetery, a possible barrow and a medieval road. The survey area comprised a 30m wide corridor centred upon the route of the new water main, some 4.2km long. Detailed gradiometer survey was undertaken over all accessible parts of the site, a total of 10.5ha. Towards the eastern extent of the survey area, a number of linear and pit-like anomalies have been identified within a quiet magnetic background. Between Uckington and Norton, several complexes of archaeological anomalies were noted, including linear ditches corresponding with a former medieval road. To the west of Norton, several ditch-like anomalies appear in close proximity to a possible Roman marching camp, although the association between the geophysical anomalies and cropmarks has not been proven. Good agreement is seen between the geophysical survey and cropmark evidence to the east of Tern Lodge, where rectilinear ditches and a circular region of increased magnetic response were identified. To the southwest of Tern Bridge, several anomalies have been identified in close proximity to a possible Roman cemetery and pottery factory, including regions of increased magnetic response and a network of rectilinear ditches. To the southeast of Atcham, a linear anomaly consistent with a former boundary has been identified, along with a number of anomalies of possible archaeological interest.
