Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 242 hectares on land near Culham, Oxfordshire, to provide baseline information on the archaeological potential of the site. The site is located just off the floodplain of the River Thames in a landscape of high archaeological potential as indicated by the known cropmarks both within the site and in the wider landscape. The survey has successfully evaluated the site identifying eight areas of archaeology, including three large areas of significant archaeological activity, the largest of which extends 0.75km along the edge of the river terrace. In addition individual isolated archaeological features (barrows or small enclosures) and smaller sites are recorded at five other locations. The spreading of organic waste in two large fields in the centre of the site has produced an extremely 'noisy' magnetic background which could mask magnetic responses from archaeological features, if present. Superficial deposits comprising magnetic sands and gravels in parts of the site have also led to a variable magnetic background which might also mask the response from archaeological features. To the east of the site ground remediation following the closure of a former airfield has also resulted in a very strong and variable magnetic background with potentially the same masking effect. For these reasons the archaeological potential of the site may be greater than indicated by the survey. Nevertheless there are still large parts of the site where no anomalies of archaeological potential have been identified.
