Abstract:		 AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by WYG Environment Planning Transport Ltd (hereafter WYG) to undertake an archaeological geophysical survey (gradiometer) to investigate the potential for buried archaeological remains on land off New Road, Clifton (centred at TL 16209 38499). A total of 7 hectares were surveyed and the results of the survey have identified the following. The results of the survey identified no definitive archaeological anomalies within the survey area. However a number of discrete archaeological trends have been recorded, of which one would appear to form a possible enclosure. This enclosure is comparable to others located on other archaeological sites and it is highly likely to be archaeological in origin. Across the site a number discrete linear trends were also identified but due to their poorer strength and patterning only a tentative interpretation could be formed as to their origin. Many of these would appear to be archaeological, associated with the possible enclosure already discussed. Also located in the survey area are a number of discrete pit like anomalies which again could be archaeological in origin. Throughout the dataset several anomalies of an unclear origin have been recorded. These appear magnetically weak and although a geological or agricultural origin is likely in most cases, an archaeological origin cannot be dismissed. Three former field boundaries have been located and confirmed through historical mapping. A number of agricultural trends, most likely related to conventional ploughing regimes and possible agricultural headlands have also been identified. Large areas of geological variations representing a possible palaeochannel have also been identified.
