Abstract:		 A geophysical survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd on land off Marshall Road, Devizes. The underlying Upper Greensand geology and overlying soils can be poor for magnetometry so earth resistance survey (resistivity) was considered as the primary technique supplemented by magnetometry to support the interpretation and to compare and contrast results. The earth resistance survey indicated high resistance curvilinear anomalies in the north eastern part of the site and a broad high resistance rectilinear response further south that may in part have been truncated by ridge and furrow. The former ridge and furrow cultivation can be seen as a series of parallel linear responses in the resistivity. The magnetometry results revealed another series of parallel linear responses of agricultural origin on a slightly different orientation and probably of more recent date. There are also a number of positive linear and discrete responses with some possibly truncated by agricultural activity. Modern activity on the site was also encountered with anomalies relating to informal footpaths, visible within both datasets, and zones of magnetic debris around the field margins, which may have obscured weaker anomalies.
