Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land off Lower Dunton Road, near Bulphan, Essex. The project was commissioned by MS Power Projects Limited with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of a proposed development. The survey area was centred on NGR 565450, 187700. The site comprises three arable fields to the west of Lower Dunton Road, approximately 7.25km WSW of Basildon. The site occupies a gently sloping area of land. The gradiometer survey covered 28.8ha and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with regions of increased magnetic response and a modern service. Only one feature identified in the Desk-Based Assessment (DBA) was found in the geophysical data. This is likely to be a former field boundary. The other ditches identified in the data could not be linked to any features identified in the DBA. The majority of features detected relate to relatively recent agricultural activity in the area with possible former field boundaries detected in addition to pits and more ephemeral features such as weak trends. Extensive magnetic disturbance associated with the services and numerous small-scale ferrous responses were seen throughout the dataset. The survey was carried out between 29th April and 8th May 2013.
