Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land at Oakley Road, Chinnor, Oxfordshire. The project was commissioned by Terence O'Rourke on behalf of Cemex UK Properties Ltd. ahead of a proposed housing development. The gradiometer survey covered 8 hectares and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of likely, probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with regions of increased magnetic response and several former field boundaries. Of primary archaeological interest are the enclosures identified within the northern portion of the larger field, which are clearly defined from the magnetic background. Numerous isolated pit-like and fragmentary linear anomalies can be seen within these enclosures and in close proximity, although the archaeological origin of these anomalies is not conclusive. A further former field at the eastern extent of the survey area is visible through the removal of its boundaries, seen as regions of magnetic disturbance within the dataset. Other possible former boundaries can be seen, with other isolated anomalies considered to be of possible archaeological interest. Ploughing trends oriented parallel with existing boundaries are visible throughout the dataset, probably associated with modern agricultural activity. There is a large amount of ferrous debris present in the smaller pasture field which may obscure other archaeological features, although a possible former boundary has been identified crossing the centre of the field. The magnetic disturbance associated with a former railway can be seen bordering the southeastern boundary of the survey area.
